Hello everybody,
like any good modelrailroader else I'm planning empires im my head :-) Now I'm trying to nail down my dreams and was wondering: I'm trying to make #8 turnouts the minimum requirement on my pike and I wonder: are there any #8 3way turnouts on the market? and while being at it: #8 single slips? The only I've found so far is the Walthers #8 double slip. ( I found handlaidtracks.com, but 200$!
)I'd even use a kit, though handlaying tracks is not yet a pastime of mine.
Side question: how often have single slip crossings/ turnouts been in use on the US prototype anyway? I can't recall to have ever seen a picture.
Thanks for enlightning me!
