Any know off the top of their head the radii of Pecos 'n' gauge turnout range...?
Hi Al,

For some reason Peco do not declare the radii of their points. It's not even on the packaging.

I've just done a quick Winrail drawing linking a series of Peco FS Large radius point together to form a semi circle and the radius appears to be just under a metre. (930mm is the best I can measure it at on the inside rail).

Hope this helps.

I wasn't far out with my estimated 930 mm radius for the large turnout. Where did you get the detailed information from ???
