Re: switches *Modeling Content*

Hi,
nice turnouts.
However the tie spacing is not quite prototypical.
Typical turnouts of the late D&RGW had a #10 or #8.5 frog.
For a #8.5, 29 ties from headblock to point of frog were most common, followed by 28 ties. Other configuration were less common.
I've send a drawing of a prototypical turnout to your email address, it's
1:87 scale.
Sorry for the German text on the drawing, I will do an English
version in near future.
This is turnout #41 from the Chama Yard, most noticable deviation
from other turnouts is that the longer ties are tilted.
