Double Crossover with a Double-curve Turnout
I'm proposing to build this particular double crossover arrangement between my 2 mainlines as they enter/exit the upper deck of my double deck layout. Three of the turnouts are Med radius Peco's (nominal diverging radius 30”). The 4th turnout is a double-radius Peco with nominal radii of 30/60”).
I was hoping to insert a very short radius track between the crossover itself and the larger radius of the curved Peco. As I have it mocked up here that short radius piece is 22” radius. Would that work?,...or maybe 24”r piece??
It looks smooth enough to me. I'm just not sure how such a change in radius can effect things?
