I'm trying to modify a track plan from a book, and I'm not quite sure how to do what I want. I have a 22" radius curve in the 'as published' plan. I want to add a spur, by replacing the first curved section with a turnout. (The straight path through the turnout will lead to the spur, the curved path will lead into the existing curve) But I'm not sure what type of turnout (#4 or #6) and subsequent pieces will be needed to allow me to get back in sync with the plan. I have some leeway to play with; there are six 22" curves in this segment of track, and I could replace anywhere from just 1 (for the turnout) to all six, depending on what gave me the smoothest curve through this area. I'm sure if I had all the track in front of me I could try test-fit things to see what felt about right, but I'm still in the planning stages of the layout. Thanks Mike
