[quote user="ATLANTIC CENTRAL"]First, flangeway dept is not important, it should be deeper than any flange you would run. Relying on the idea of model flanges riding on the bottom of a frog the way some modern prototype frogs do is a bad idea.[/quote] Here you have a fundamental misunterstanding of the Fleischmann profi track turnout design. They are designed that the wheel NEM wheel has to run on its flange. The gap between frog and closure rail is too wide to run on the tread. A RP25 wheel will fall into the gap without inserts. Most German turnouts are designed this way. Exceptions are Tillig Elite track, Peco streamline, and Fleischmann Profi Track high-speed turnouts with movable frogs. The Fleischmann Profi Track is code 100. Regards, Volker
