Hi, everyone!
I need a wee bit of help. My son and I are building a logging area on our layout and would like to go from Code 83 (Main line) to Code 70 in the logging area. We need to be able to put down #8 curved turnouts, but all we can find are #6's. Who would carry the #8's, without having to hand lay them?
Thank you
Mac

I'm amazed you were able to find #6 curved turnouts in code 70. You didn't say which make - I'm assuming Shinohara. Does Shinohara catalog a #8 curved turnout in their code 70 line? Shinohara batch produces various items in code 70 on a once-a-year at best basis. Walters has exclusive rights to Shinohara's code 83 products, and apparently has priority for production space/time.
I can think of several solutions:

Kits and assembled. Scroll down about half way to curved turnouts.http://www.troutcreekeng.com/bkho.html
Gentlemen,
Thank you for your help. I'm going to check out BKHO alittle closer.
