Kadee body mount couplers & #4 turnout question

MI-MarcOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Does anyone using Kadee body mount couplers on rolling stock have problems using #4 turnouts as crossovers or in yards?

I am working on my 3-rail layout plans with RR-Track to use only Ross turnouts. I am planning to use Ross #4 crossovers (RCS model #175) on the mainline and Ross #4 turnouts (RCS model #200 & #201) in the yards, which will create my only "S" curves. I will use some Ross O72 turnouts, but not as "S" curves. My minimum radius is 36" (O72). Ultimately, I would like to change all my couplers to body mount Kadee couplers on my rolling stock, but keep electrocouplers on my 3-rail locomotives (MTH & Lionel). Does anyone using Kadee body mount couplers on rolling stock have problems using Ross #4 turnouts as crossovers or in yards?
