Hi Maryann; As Ed points out, there is no single answer to your questions. Possibly the best course of action would be to look over the selection of track products currently available to S here:
http://trainweb.org/crocon/strack.html Then see what you want to do that's different or better than the existing options. As a general rule, S switches fall into a couple of catagories: Scale - basically duplicate the look and function of the prototype, cannot run AF compatible equipment (non-scale wheels). AF Compatible - work for AF and "highrail" or AF compatible trains, but cannot run scale wheels except possibly on the straight leg. There are two groups of switches that work for both scale and AF compatibile. One group, as mentioned in another post, use "closed frog" designs. The second are the turnouts made by Tom Stoltz which appear to have hit some "magic number" dimensions which work for both wheel types/gauges. I don't know if it is possible to duplicate this function without actually copying Tom's design (which would not be a good thing without his permission).
