If realism is any priority at all, you may wi***o go for the extra "buck" and purchase Japanese turnouts (Shinohara, etc.). "N" gauge ground throws are closer to scale and will make "tight" closure. For further realism, switch machines should be mounted under the table. I only mention this Pete because my first layout was a hurried affair and later, I wished I had taken more time and paid more attention to detail. As it turned out, I eventually had to replace the "snap" turnouts and surface mounted switch machines to acheive anything appearing better than a "tinplate" toy HO pike. Whatever your choice, I wish you the best of luck .
