Fred, thanx. It helps a bit. I did not know the # referred to length to a spread of an inch. From what you are telling me, I could use a Peco #5 turnout in place of an Atlas #4 which is key. I was considering changing my track to Peco 83 from Atlas 83 because I like the protypical look of the Peco 83. I would love to use Walthers but the delays I am hearing about are a nightmare and I simply do not want to mix different kinds of track. <br /> <br />I still find it unneccesarily confusing. Particularly when track planning with software. Curves and turnouts never seem to meet correctly. Some brands of turnouts have cut-off curves (like Atlas) and others don't. Do you really have to be a Draftsman or Architect to figure a good track plan? How do some people come up with huge layouts on paper? Must take forever. I will plod on in my quest....
