Word of caution Bill. 3 rail deep/thick flanged rolling stock does not like running through turnout frogs gauged to NMRA 2 rail standards. The problem is not the track gauge - but the back to back guard rail clearance in the area of the frog. If you are in 2 rail O scale model railroading for the long haul, I do not recommend compromising on track standards for both the reason of smooth operation and prototype appearance. Track is the foundation of our hobby - do it right from the start and you will never regret it. Check out the products of Right-O-Way for building your own turnouts. They look great at half the cost of factory made ones. Years ago there was a series of video's posted on this forum on how to lay turnouts using Right-O-Way castings. At this point they may be on Utube.
