If anyone has this and is using both bays, what radius turnout are you using to split the tracks entering the structure? The bays are only about 1/2"+ apart so trying to figure out what I need to buy to get parallel tracks to fit. There isn't much wiggle room within the bay since they're just slightly wider than fastrack, so things need to be spot on.
I had an o36 turnout on hand but it's not working, tracks too far apart. Thanks!

I used a fastrack o72 wye for mine.
Thanks, Casper. A little off topic, but your layout looks great! I really like that background, especially how it blends with the tunnel. What are the overall dimensions of your layout? Particularly interested in how wide/deep is the portion shown in your photo?
Thank you PRRick, my layout is a 5x8. One thing about the engine house, try to give yourself some room from the turn to the engine house or when you back some loco’s in the cab will clip the building.
I transistioned from Fastrack to Tubular to go inside the engine house starting at the front of the base plus I have my entrance tracks coming from different directions connected to 2 different track loops by help of a 45° crossover.
