Ok, picked up some custom #6 turnouts. Moved the flex until cars passed comfortably with one track being slightly elevated (max 3/4" at this parallel) and the other at 0. I wanted enough room for hands to easily grab a car so my distance between rails is 2-3/8ā <br /> <br />It takes 12ā from the āvā (not sure what this portion is called) in the switch until both tracks are parallel. Not sure what the radius is, rather large for measuring. Should I decrease the radius or does it matter? <br />
