[beiland]

There have been a number of occasions during my track planning escapades where I desired to utilize a double-radius turnout. And just as often there turns out NOT to be a stock commercial one available that meets my particular needs,...wouldn't you know it

Does he have one of in-progress modification (how-to)?
