N Scale Question
“I have just started with model railroading in N scale to accommodate the area I have. I will be using Atlas, Code 55 track. I will have a main line, branch Line with a small yard and industrial spur . I will be using #5 turnouts. While working on my yard design I am not sure what is require to transition from the turnout to parallel tracks.
At the throat of the yard, yes, I should use turnouts, however, should I use ship switches or turnouts when switching is required in the yard area?
What type of curve should I use between the turnout and strieght track?
Maybe a 10 inch radius full or half section?”
