curved turnouts?

[sleeper33]

 hi all

am wondering if any company makes a dcc.ready 'N' guage curved turnout?

I know peco didn't and have looked on the atlas website and they don't seem to either.

is there anyone else?

 I knew peco made the curved turnouts but don't they need alot of work to make them dcc ready? my skills with a soldering iron arn't that hot.

That's nice   to hear i was reading an article about 2 years ago that roughly said that you had cut this rail solder that bit to another and splice wire to another that's why i havn't gone for dcc before.

sleeper33, a check of the Walthers <2008> N&Z Model Railroad Reference Book usually referred to as the Walthers catalog reveals that both BK Enterprises and Shinohara market curved switches in code 70 - BK also markets curved switches in code 55. These ain't cheap and by the time the Chancellor of the Exchequer gets his hands on it it's going to become even less cheap!

Not wishing to intercept and preempt sleeper33's post but I am not a DCC participant at this time but I am ever seeking enlightenment from the far corners of intellect: can someone please give me a defininition for a "dcc.ready 'N' guage[sic] curved turnout'? I know what 'N' guage[sic] is - I'm in it! I know what a curved turnout is - I'll probably wind up having to construct one at some time in the future. What, however, is a 'dcc.ready 'N' guage[sic] curved turnout'?

 I don't model in N scale anymore,also I'm Not selling turnouts. For curved to's I'd use insulfrogs. They are pricey but this is not acheap hobby anyway. I cut gaps where needed I'm sure there are plenty of threads on this subject here somewhere. When it comes to track, this should be #1 priority, spend the bucks, do it once, The RR will be so much more fun in the future. Good Luck & its all about learning. randy...............

I realise this thread is kinda dated, but here is a good site to explain the t-o issue.
