azrailWhy 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.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

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.
