No, it's actually about a # 4.5 or 5 at the most. <snip>
Ed:
The urban legend goes that someone (who remains nameless) convinced Shinohara
to take the HO turn out and basically split it and regauge it to S scale. The
result was an S Scale turn out with a #6 frog but a point to frog distance
equal to a #4.75 turn out.
They work fine when used in the appropriate application, it is just they do not
scale out to NMRA standards for a #6 switch.
I was under the impression that since the initial production runs that
situation had been fixed, but maybe that is an urban legend I am telling
myself!!
