Trying to incorporate a small staging yard into an unused section of the layout, but it's not a very big area, and in order to get more tracks in, I'll need to use #4 turnouts. Most of the through trains and trains coming on scene from 'off' the layout, will be 6 axle diesels, and most of them will originate in the staging yard. Just wanted to know if it was possible, since I'd be going slow, to use #4's with the big diesel's and if they'll navigate the diverging routes okay if going slow. If not, I'll have to go to #6 switches and reduce the number of tracks by at least half.
