<p>[quote user="Arto"]But as already mentioned, some manufacturers such as Peco have turnout templates available. Just make sure you print them properly (1:1). You'll probably have to use some kind of banner paper that's long enough for some of the longer turnouts or the template will be cut-off and you might not notice until you've made a few mistakes (like I did).[/quote]</p> <p>Yep, I ran into that.  My printer defaulted to shrink to fit and I didnt notice it until my yard ladder took of 3/4 of the space the computer said it would.  In N scale, you should not have a problem with PECO turnouts fitting 1:1 scale, but please do confirm this.  I also would like to take a moment to put in a plug for PECO.  They make an excellent reliable product in HO scale.  I highly recommend them.  I have not however used any of their N scale products to this date (I plan to eventually build a small N scale switching layout).</p>
