John, First, if they don't line up then just scoot them into place. For two degrees or so it won't hurt anything. I do want to say there is no reason they shouldn't line up though except for a small fabrication tollerance in the turnout. Second, I imagine most everyone will recommend that you use Atlas #4s or something; anything but a Snap Switch. I think that well made trackwork would be OK even with Snap Switches as long as you run short equipment and deisel locos but I can't dispute that almost anything else is better. Incidently, I am sure a Snap Switch is sharper than a number five frog. Third, arrangements can be used (with Snap Switches) to acheive two inch centers, but again I think #4s are a better solution. Finally, I don't know anything about Shino switches, but my hobby store man and I both like Peco switches which are also power routing style turnouts. Hope this helps. Good Luck - Ed
