Peco code 75 turnouts with radius > 1524 mm (SL-E188/9)

Hi all,I am in the process of planning my first H0 layout (Danish mid-sixtiestheme) and has been recommended Peco code 75 for the trackwork.My problem is that I would like some of my turnouts to have a radiuswell above the 1524 mm of the SL-E188/SL-E189.Ideally the turnout should have a radius of around 2200 mm (to model aDanish 1:9 turnout with 190 m radius - and I would imagine the UKprototype have used a similar size).Obviously Peco doesn't provide this but I was just wondering if thereby any chance exists a solution (for example a UK manufacturer makingsuch a product, a modification kit, assembly fixture or somethingsimilar).I might be asking for the impossible here - but I do hope there is away through this, so any information on this is very welcomed.ThanksJohn Westi

Wow! In wouldn't even try to build such a complicated arrangement of turnouts and crossings! I can see where Templot would be an enormous help in laying out the sleeper locations, etc.

I trust we'll see some in-progress pictures from time to time?

Well, I've got the baseboards done now (not over interesting photo wise but I'll add one soon), and found a lunatic who can plane the point blades... just having a burst of activity on the Warship & wagons front to clear some space on the work bench (aka dining room table).......

Still struggling to find some 0-FS track guages though - anyone come accross any?

Cheers Richard
