Thanks for the input.....rivet counters...I LIKE THAT! <br />I guess I'm just the kind of guy that gets "bugged" over the little things....WHY DOES ATLAS BOTHER TO MARKET TWO DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT PRODUCTS IF IT'S NO BIG DEAL?!? <br />See, when I tried my 1st "expanded" layout, I bought 2 Atlas SWITCHES. Then I bought 2 new Atlas TURNOUTS off of ebay.....After I was having difficulty <br />"making ends meet" (PUN?) I realized that the "turnout" is over an inch LONGER with a much "shallower" curve than the "switch"...which is the "standard" 5", like the other Atlas "Snap Track" pieces. Go to your local hobby shop and check this out...there they will be, right next to each other, Atlas SWITCH and Atlas TURNOUT....SOMEBODY 'SPLAIN THIS TO MEEE!! <br />Unta
