Reply to "Curved Switches (Turnouts)?"

Bob, if I may suggest.  Remove all #5 turnouts in the lower quadrant.  After coming across what may be the stair case come off the main line and go into a three way wye.  Left leg goes back to the main, the middle and right leg feeds the mill and foundry.  Coming off the tail of the three way points, a LH curved turnout will give you a track into the Seaboard team track and a connecting track back into the main line.  Consider NOT using the full size 20" Atlas #5 for rejoining the main.  That one product uses a lot of real estate.

I would suggest to install a curved turnout in the five o'clock position of the curve on the bottom right hand of your track plan above.  Understand the Atlas #5 is sized for newby's to use the Atlas track planner which replaces two 10" pieces of snap track.  Only the far right hand #5 below is original full size.  A full size #5 can be clumsy.
