You see in MR that the owners of these large layouts say that they will not use a switch smaller than a #6 and that they have 1/2 mile minimum radius curves. I was wondering what you use? For a home layout, would #4 be relaible for use as yard ladder switches? I do plan to use a #6 or 8 for main line crossovers.
One last question is, is the Atlas "y" switch long enough to use on the main? If not, who makes a longer one? I nned these because the B&M uses equallateral switches at the end of double track locations, in places like Tyter (Athol) and Erving interlockings.
