https://www.handlaidtrack.com/track-templates-ho-wyes

FT lists them as #4 and #5 -- wyes are referred to in both ways.

If you don't intend to handlay (or use jigs), then these may not be helpful. What track do you plan to use?

Code 70 Flex track. I also happen to find the PECO Wye. The short wye is 24" radius but not sure if that equates to #2 or #2.5? Thanks for the help.

The short PECO wye is the equivalent of about a #2.25 (or #4.5) frog.

This is a Walthers-Shinohara #4 wye:
