Good Day,
I am in the planning phase and have a smaller (18'x5') loop of 42" radius Gargraves that will be the initial focus of the layout. I have a longer running loop of O72 (32'x11). I do not want to do a crossover switch as I'd like the loops to join with enough distance to add a station siding on the O42 loop that is long enough to fit a six car passenger train. Thus, the #6 and #8 switches are too long. Would I be cool to do this with two pair of 11 degree or #4 switches so long as the train is not at full speed upon hitting the switch? Should I go with a radius switch option, or find another spot to try this entirely? Thank you for your thoughts on this.
-Bob
