pro hobby...thanks for this...what are the track pieces coming "out" of the 054 side of each switch...is that simply an 054 curve on each side...or is there a half curve in there somewhere?
Thanks.

SD60M,
This picture should answer your question:
Here is a design I had been working on over the summer which also illustrates the use of the AtlasO curved turnout. The plan uses O-45 and O-36 curves. It took a night burning midnight oil to find the right combination to maintain the 4 1/2" spacing. (In hindsight, the easiest way would be to run a piece of flex track off of the O-72, and bend it as needed.)
Here is a curved turnout up close:
