Dave et al --

A No. 6 turnout has nearly the same dimensions whether on a curve or a 
straight track.  The only compensation one must make is that the 
smaller-radius closure rail must be a fraction shorter.  If you like, 
you can take anyone's commercial #6 turnout, remove the ties, and spike 
it down curved.  You will have to shorten the smaller-radius closure 
rail so that the tips of the points line up.  You should also curve the 
frog, but from a practical standpoint this is necessary only for really 
tight curves.
