Hi it's the armchair again,

Quite a while back I was browsing the web and found a page somewhere that
showed a comparison of different manufacturers Turnout sizes and also what
it all meant. Do you think I can now find it? Dopey me never bookmarked it
or wrote it down.

When people mention a turnout size like #6 or #10 etc, I have no idea what
it means in comparison to say a Peco Streamline Medium or Large turnout. Can
anyone point me in a direction that might help me?

Thanks in advance,
PK

Hmmm, I've spent a number of hours looking and you think I could find it?
I'll blame it on my PC, it's always the cause of all my problems and it is
better than blaming my ineptitude.

That's just what I wanted.

Thanks Birdman,
PK
