Nice design. By the way, if you're using code 100 rail for the branch, you might want to consider using H.O. spikes. Dip the tip in white glue before driving them and they won't back out and the smaller heads will give you a better look.

Anyone know for sure? Specifically smaller steam. Thanks.

They'll work just fine. Post layout pictures -- progress and completion.

Here's the rough design so far Matt. I think I'm going to use Microengineering code 100 flex and Trout Creek code 100 turnout assemblies.
