Hi Roger,
Very useful info.
I noticed in the photo that you have some joint bars on the turnout. Do
you have any of those on the inside of the rail? I use code 83 rail and
I have bought matching joint bars, but they are way too big and get hit
by the flange of the equipment. I've thought of using code 70 joint bars
instead, but have not bought those yet. Maybe if I would switch to
proto:64 wheels I won't have that problem, but that opens up a whole
other can of worms...

Since I am currently building the turnouts for my Shops engine
terminal, I have my inventory of various spikes laid out, so I took
some measurements with my calipers:
Your opinions may vary. Ha!
