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.

I have heard from some HO fellas who are in the NMRA that the NMRA recently did 
a survey of all known HO turnouts (not kits) and concluded that none of them 
met ALL of the NMRA standards. 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.
