Aristo Remote Turnouts

Aristo makes 3 radius turnouts, one is sharp, I don't know the effective radius, the next is the "wide radius" turnout, which almost perfectly matches a 5' radius, and the #6. <br /> <br />I would advise avoiding the tighest turnouts at all costs, even in a yard, unless all of your locos are relatively short. I am using the wide radius turnouts in my yard, and since yard speeds are slow, you should be able to sneak all locos through, even might get away with S curves. The #6 switches would be closer to prototype, but they will take a lot of space in the yard. <br /> <br />Since most locos will run through 8 foot diameter turnouts, the wide radius switches, 5' radius / 10' diameter will be very smooth. <br /> <br />Regards, Greg
