Trying to find a turnout...

[prodigy2k7]

Hey, I ned help finding a turnout.
HO Code 100 right and left turnout.

It will be the regular type (one rail goes straight and the other turns out to the right or left)

I am trying to find a turnout when the turn radius is about 18" (or anything somewhat sharp)
Note: the turnout must be DCC ready (power to all tracks). I also prefer that the frogs are sinsulated and not metal...

OK, first, you want an insulated frog, you don't want a power-routing turnout, and for 18" radius, you want an Atlas snap-switch.

whatever lol... I thought plastic was an insulator so I figured...
I know i what kind of track I want, whatever you want to call it...
Im talking about radius... Atlas doesnt provide a 18 inch radius (or other tight turn) by itself (it comes with a manual switch)

Note: I bought the manual switches anyways and took off the manual switches...

I'm not sure what you're asking for then. I thought you wanted the curved part of the turnout to be 18"? The Atlas snap-switch is a curved frog, rather than a number (like #4, #6), and the curve through the frog is 18".

Tell me the product number. Yes I am talking about the curved part of a turnout to be 18"..Tell me a specific part number from atlas and I will tell you what im talking about...

At-540 is remote snap switch left
At-541 is remote snap switch right

540? and 541? Those arent the numbers at atlasrr.com

850 Remote Snap-Switch® Left $16.50 851 Remote Snap-Switch® Right $16.50
Look at that price. See hoe expensive?

Besides they come with a remote and wires and the switch (i dont want all of that)

What I wanted was the turnout and nothing else (just like #4 and #6 are like)
I actually bought was this after I realized you could detach the manual switch.
These are 10.75 and cheaper and thats what I wanted

There you go. Amazing what you can find when you start looking.

540/541 are the snap switches with code 83 rail.

I have code 100, guess what i didnt have to look.i just foundout that the switch comes off, if they didnt I wouldnt be able to use them.
