Peco HO Streamline SL-E86/87 geometry question
Hi,
Looking at the specs of these curved turnouts in Railset Editor, the larger radius is set to 1981.2 mm.
However, the Peco catalogue lists the larger radius as 1524 mm for these components.
Both sources agree that the smaller radius is 762 mm.
I'm aware that it is sometimes difficult to get exact geometry specs out of manufacturers, but this seems to be a very large discrepancy.
Should I trust the railset's specs (perhaps they've been created based on actual measurements) or the Peco catalogue spec?

Re: Peco HO Streamline SL-E86/87 geometry question
We didn't create the Peco railset ourself so we can't tell where the data came from.
However, if you go into the Railset Editor and create a curved turnout based on the Peco catalogue specs you'll see that the specs are lacking crucial data, at best..
