    I am replacing all of my Atlas turnouts with Peco medium and long radius turnouts. Does anyone have experience with Peco #4 turnouts?

    I have one , and would only use it for industrial track in a confined space. Just looks too small to me.

    Ditto above. Peco also makes or at one time made what they termed 'set track'. This was smaller than a number 4 switch and fine for urban streetcar or trolley layouts but I would not use it for anything else.

    I had about 10 in the yards on a old layout. No problems!
    Took the layout down thought I was done with N.
    Got back into N and went with KATO.

    I want to use a PECO 4 on a siding. I assume that I will not experience any problems on the straight portion?
