@Curtiss posted:.......I have the insert from the package which seems to indicate that stringing them one after another might yield a track spacing of 95mm or ~3.5 plus inches, but when I do this it appears quite a bit less. Does anybody have any experience with this.......
The 95 mm spacing in the instruction sheet that I just looked for these turnouts does not show any ladder spacing, but does show that if you place two 'back to back' for a crossover, the distance between track centers is that 95 mm -- say, 3.75 inches However, this sheet is from a later production turnout, and is more abbreviated than earlier editions [ blue ink ] as I recall, which may have had more track layout sketches.
You might make sure the turnouts are assembled correctly if you purchased used; I've purchased some over the years that have had RH frog sections with LH blade sections and vice versa, whether they were assembled -- even soldered -- or in boxes.
I'll look again, but although this is the 'standard' turnout on my layout, I don't think I have any "pure" ladder layouts to measure the resultant spacing -- sorry.
Best regards, SZ
