on30 #5 micro engineering turnout equivalent? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

modelrailroadbenchworkOGR Forum Member FORUM SPONSOR

I'm getting ready to draw a on30 track plan but my program RailmodellerPro doesn't cover narrow gauge. I was wondering if there's an HO scale equivalent I could substitute for in the CAD program that has the same geometry. Would Atlas or Peco have anything that's the same geometry? Anyone have any ideas?

I'd just swap a #5 for a #5 but the reality is each manufacture makes their #5 just a little different so I'm looking for whatever will get me the closest.

A number 5 would be a number 5 regardles, the number defines the frog angle. So any brand would give you the correct separation and angle of the tracks. What would be different by mfg would be the amount of track on either side of the frog, ie the straight track in all 3 directions.
