Hi Ed, I've read some magazine articles about test measurements on HO
turnouts and the inconsistencies are there but they are mostly minor
measurements that don't affect the operation since there is so much room for
error in the wide wheel/ big flange combination of toy trains. Sure the NMRA
targets are nice to aim for but unless one is running P87 they are pretty much
overkill for HO trains and would add to the cost of the turnouts due to the
finer tolerances and controls required without providing any real benefit to
operations. Anyone who's run HO trains on the old Atlas snap track will already
know that they run fine on very crude track ...........dave
