<P mce_keep="true">In planning stage of new yard and expansion. Hope to create as smooth access/exit as possible for big steamers and long frame diesels in their new yard (as compared to the my old yards with #4 turnouts).</P> <P mce_keep="true">Will the #6s be just as good as #8s. Do they save a little space because of shorter length? I see they will give me a little more length in the sidings because of the larger/sharper radius spur</P> <P mce_keep="true"> or should I stick with #8s everywhere?</P>
