Curious- what Ross switch provides 4 inch CTC yard track spacing?

Read a ton of threads on the topic of yard track spacing and the vast majority like 3.5" CTC.  In working on  new layout mockups  (and using RR-Track ver. 4.02) it appears that the Ross 200 / 201 switches (#4 at 14 degrees) provide the 3.5 spacing.  I was also able to check the roughly 3 inch spacing and it appears the #100 / 101 ( #5 at 11 degrees)  provides that if someone wants it.  Several in the past threads noted a 4 inch CTC option but I don't see a straight switch to accomplish this, without space consuming use of the transition pieces . Did I miss something?

Here are the #4 and #5 versions from RR-Track (#4 on top and #5 bottom).

Thanks Dave, that is an easy approach- also good to know I did not miss one of the Ross switches that could do this directly.  I tried the 010 fitter with the #4 switches and looks like 4" on the button CTC.  It is the one on the top. So for any who look at this in the future (six inch RR-track grid):

Top: #4 switch ladder with 010 fitter track, 4" CTC.  Middle: #4 switches only, 3.5" CTC.  Bottom: #5 switches, 3" CTC
