thanks KingConrail76.  If I remember, the #4 and a 5" strat track are the same, 5 inches.  I am going to guess and say that the number 6 would be almost the same.  As for the wye, looks like I am going to be calling on my area hobby shop over the next week or so.  ****, I may just buy one of each and go from there.  thanks again

code 80 #4 is 14 degrees 15 minutes angle.

code 80 #6 is 9 degrees 32 minutes angle.

I do not have a listing for code 80 Y, but a code 55 #2.5 Y is 22 degrees 30 minutes.

I also do not have any length dimensions listed.

All above information quoted from Atlas Track, Layouts and Accessories Catalog, 2005 edition.

I need to know a few facts about Atlas N scale switches.  How long and at what angle are they, looking for the Snap, #6 and the new wye switch.  All in Code 80.  Anyone know?  I have tryed doing my planing with the free Download of Atlas track planing, but they dont have the new wye in there.
