I like this discussion about turnouts! I had anticipated using only Atlas #4s at first. Each brand has their ups and downs of course, but I kept coming back to the Atlas ones mostly due to cost. But I would like to minimize my "re-works" and so I will check out the #5 sizes at the train show this weekend.
Do all of the medium Peco turnouts use code 100 rail?
Matt, what do you mean about the styrene rod on the throwbar of the Pecos? Can you expand on that?
Reinhard, I would have to say that appearance is not going to bother me much at this point. But I can't even make up my mind about lunch, let alone a glued down track plan
Thank you for the warning!
Green, I have never had problems operating or running at speed with #4s either.
That was a part of why I was planning to use them. Maybe it comes down to the equipment, how the turnout was laid, and the use?
