First off, DO NOT use Snap Switches in any yard or application where you will be trying to maintain relatively close track center spacing! Why? Because a Snap Switch is no ordinary turnout! <br />Read the back side of the package carefully and note how they are designed for specific applications, mainly to create 18" rad. curves. that's exactly why the come packaged with that 1/3 <br />18R extra piece of sectional track! It actually completes a WHOLE section of 18"R when attached to the Snap Switch.So you see, you would be severely diverging ( way more so than with a reg. #4 turnout!) from the straight route by using them in ANY situation. Hope this helped. Lastly, NEVER place any curved track between ccrossovers, in your yard or anywhere else.
