I am modifying my current track paths, and in one place I have a tight squeeze between the existing motor housing of a right hand Lionel 022 turn out, and the straight section of a new turnout that I have to lay along side of it. The motor housing of the Lionel turnout juts out pretty darned far from the outside rail tie of the single section entrance of the existing turnout. I can't just switch the motor to the other side of of the turnout, because it would be hanging completely off the side of my table.
I was wondering if anybody has a right hand Rossi 031 radius automatic turnout, and if so, you could please measure for me how far out from the right side of the outside entrance tie the switch motor housing juts out? (See picture.) Hopefully about an inch or so less than the Lionel 022 turnout motor housing?
Thanks very much,
Mannyrock
