<p>[quote user="BNSF UP and others modeler"]I have 3 curved shinohara turnouts right now, plus 2 peco curved turnouts. Will try to post pics, unless someone already knows what radii they would be. Thanks for all the helpful comments![/quote]</p> <p>Do you have the part numbers from the packaging? That will likely be most useful. </p> <p>If you have the approximate length and code of track for the Peco ones, that would be very useful.</p> <p>If you have a piece of plywood that long enough and wide enough, you can use a piece of string tied to a nail and a pencil (the length of the string from nail to pencil is the radius) to draw arcs of different radius. Then lay the curved turnout down on the plywood. This will get you in the ballpark.</p>
