Hi Mike; In S we have Tomalco flex and turnouts, Shinohara code 100 flex and turnouts (Number 6 and Number 8, but the No. 6 has a few issues) and the Custom Trax pre-built turnouts on roadbed. All are scale-only. I don't know if your dealer was referring to to Shinohara No. 6 turnout, or the various "Highrail" turnouts in his comments. The S scale Shinohara is only available from 'S'cenery Unlimited.
Tomalco track is here: http://www.tomalcotrack.com/index.html Custom Trax is here: http://custmtrax.com/ I'm not sure of the availability of the White Oak turnouts here in the U.S. If you have not seen it, possibly the most inclusive web site on S is Craig O'Connell's: http://trainweb.org/crocon/sscale.html It is a great starting point for seeing what is available in S.
