Yes. Go to the NMRA website and look at Recommended Practices 12. It lists the specs for turnouts from 4 thru 10 and gives all of the pertinent dimensions in inches. If you want metric, you'll have to convert. The URL is http://www.nmra.org/standards/rp12_3.html

NMRA is well worth the price of admission for all the information they have to offer and other good things that come with membership.

Good luck.

Atlas used to make a kit that came with instructions for each size turnout. I inherited some from my mother. They were loose in the box and came with a pre-made frog, unsuitable for DCC.
