#4 turnouts and 6 axle diesels?

Oh, I'm definitely staying away from Snap Track, because on my first layout I used snap switches exclusively, and I couldn't get ANY 6 axle diesels through a snap switch without derailing. This layout I'm going to do everything by the book (or as close as possible) and pay the extra money for a good Custom Line #4 and #6 switches. Right now I'm designing my trackplan using Atlas's Right Track 5.0 Software, and my goal is to use #6's on all crossovers, mainline turnouts, and any place big diesels will be moved in large number, but hearing about the #4's being a good choice for big diesels too, I may redesign the layout to incorporate more #4's on the mainline since they don't occupy as much real estate, and I could squeeze in a little more detail. <br /> <br />Thanks for the responses!
