I have been using 3rdPlanit software to plan my next layout (HO Scale). I have noticed that the large radius code 100 turnout from Peco has a diverging leg at 12 degrees. The No. 6 Atlas CustomLine turnout (also code 100) has a diverging leg at 9.5 degrees. I find this confusing since I always thought the radii and frogs of the two turnouts were about the same. Can anyone explain the difference in the geometry of these two turnouts? I would appreciate it because it would help me make good decisions regarding how to arrange the turnouts in congested areas. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. - Ed
