For some reason my RR-Track software will not connect any track to the fast track O-72 wye piece, so this is a best guess.  Fast Track does not have many 11.25 degree curve sections (only O-36, O-72, and O-84) .  Of those, the O-84 fits best to get the 5 inch center-to-center track spacing of the MTH shed.  Combo is the wye, then a 1.375" straight, then the O-84 curve.  Maybe someone can try this on a different program to confirm.

Oh and not to be nosey. our profiles are almost Identical. You need to add a boat to the mix !!!

I am an FFL I have lots of fast cars and I am a private Pilot !  Im a boater during the summer in Catawba island

I've owned a number of boats over the years, but I don't happen to have a boat nowadays.  We used to have a vacation house on a lake in NE-PA, and I had a couple of sailboats and of course the ski-boat for the kids and guests.

Just tried GRJ's method (two 1.375 inch pieces on each side of the wye), and the SCARM program set the distance between track centers at 5.5 inches.  To get good fit, you may have to cut down two of those 1.375 inch pieces.  Plus, if I remember the instructions correctly, they recommend a regular (right or left hand) O72 switch for proper track spacing.

You have to use the 120xx make up piece on each outlet of the wye. They are on the turnout menu just below the wye selection. I think there are a couple of other Fastrack turnouts that also require these pieces. I believe these are the pieces included with select turnouts. I started out to use Fastrack a few years ago, but went with Atlas instead and I have forgotten a few things...

CAPPilot,

The wye needs the 12xx 1 3/8" fitters. They are half-roadbed pieces. RRT won't let it connect as a default protection.

Porsche1666,

I get a 3/8" difference between the O60 switch and the O72 Wye. You can probably wiggle that. You should lay the line of the 1" on the center. I don't trust those ends of the tape for tight work.

GRJ, I haven't been able to confirm if AnyRail includes the 1 3/8" half-road piece automatically.  RRT & SCARM do not.

Hello I’m new to the forum and can across this post, so you can accomplish using the mth dual stall with 0-60 fastrack switch. I don’t have much room to fit this so I want to make sure I have the space before ordering. Thanks 

It takes O48 curves to make to O60 switch work to a 5.25 center rail spacing. It is about 40" long , but that doesn't include the approach to the switch.

The wye is the shortest method.

thank you Moonman, are you able to do a diagram like that using a wye? I don’t have a pc so can’t get the software.

GRJ posted it above on 12/20/15

What is missing is the (2) 6-12035 bumpers at the ends of straights or (2) 6-12059 Earthen bumpers. I like the earthen here - they are shorter and take up less space inside You decide...

This is about 29" long before adding the bumpers
