I not recommend the smallest size turnout unless you where handling just a couple cars in a cramped space, such as an industrial area. I would use the medium turnout on all tracks and if you have room, go up to large radius on main line sidings and crossovers.

Although I am in HO scale, I would recommend that you use the medium radius. Large scale radius will use up a lot of realestate. I use #6 turnouts from the mainline and #4 for the freight yard and #5 for passenger yard.
Hope this helps...Ken

I am planning a 7 or 8 track double ended yard and would like to know what size Peco turnouts I should use, large radius or medium radius? I have never made a yard before and any help would be apprecaited.
