I ordered some from one of the big online train stores that were backordered for months. I have been watching the Atlas Productions Shipping schedule http://shop.atlasrr.com/t-ordership.aspx
After they revamped their website, I guess they don't update this page as it is still showing due 3rd quarter 2017. The S-2 is also in country, due 4th quarter. A week ago I got an email that Trainworld was shipping both. The S-2 is in their latest monthly catalog, but not the turnouts.
The turnouts are long. The radius is 30 outside, 24" inside if I recall correctly. The frog is about 1 1/2" long. I have not taken it out of the package yet.
The S-2 is a B&O with loksound. It runs and sounds good. I need to figure out weathering for a loco with window glass in place, as dullcoat and clear plastic doesn't work.
Merry Christmas to myself.

Why is the diverging track radius on the curved turnout so sharp? Shouldn't it be 26" or 28"?

If you want larger radii curved turnouts, have a look at Peco HO Code 83s. They are 60" and 36" respectively.
