Perhaps, but since the goal is consistent and repeatable functionality and cross-compatability, which has certainly been achieved by the majority of HO track manufacturers, I would say the NMRA standards are irrelevent.

Not a single one. I presume the Fast Tracks fixtures will enable folks to build a "correct" turnout if they want to do it right. This seems, to me, to be a somewhat sad state of affairs in the hobby today. Ed L. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
