A number 6 crossover will work out to about 2" straight and a 46" curve when you substitute for one of the switches. I use a 3" straight and a 32" curve and that works good.

I'm not much of a poster more of a lurker. I visit often and have learned much by just reading. Someday soon I hope to get the layout started and maybe than I will post. Wayne
