Does anyone know the curvature equilivent of thie double slip switch is? (#4, #5, #6)
Thank you,
Richard
Hi there,
All of Peco's turnouts are meant to be an angle of 7 degrees so a "large radius" and a "small radius" or medium radius together will correctly space a double track crossover.
The different radii used to be considered to be 2ft 3ft and 5 ft but they were not strictly speaking circles i.e. you would not get a perfect circle laying the curved parts end for end. I would think that the double slip would be translated to the large (quasi 5ft) radius given the spacing needed for the points of the slips.

Good luck!

Thank you.
I believe all of the streamline code 100 turnouts have a diversion angle of 12 degrees. Thus matching up with the 12 & 24 degree crossings.
use the 12 (long)to cross an adjacent parallel track. 24 (short) to build a double crossover
