[quote user="BNSF UP and others modeler"] Ok, so I would use the 28" outer curve for the mainline and the diverging route for sidings that will not handel intermodal and passenger? <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] Well,  I would suggest you re-read the thread I linked about Shinohara curved turnouts. Go to the fast tracks website and print out the CAD drawing of a 28"/24" radius turnout (or just view it on your screen).  Willing to bet the Shinohara does not match. Here is a link: <a href="https://www.handlaidtrack.com/tt-ho-r-10-l-28-24">https://www.handlaidtrack.com/tt-ho-r-10-l-28-24</a> Notice that it is a #10 turnout...  Tim Warris, one of the owners of FastTracks discussed this at length back in 2004: A google search for these words "curved turnout conspiracy fast tracks forum" should give you a first result that explains in detail what is happening.
