PECO makes a curved code 100 turnout. I used about 4 in the lead into my yard.

Actually not a very helpful web site in my opinion when it comes to the product side of things, but here is the link anyway. The Code 100 Peco's while made in the UK are sold all over the place in the USA. Shop around and you can get some reasonable deals. They even show up on e-bay. I use the Insulfrog varient as they will work with DCC with no special wiring or modification. Worked very well for me.

I am looking into using two of these for my hidden staging yard. What do you use for switch machines?
Thanks Mike Dickinson

Peco makes a twin coil type machine that is designed specifically for the turnout and fits directly on the underside.
