It looks that the AnyRail library missed the electric turnout for HO Unitrack.
They're
No4: 2-850
       2-851
No6: 2-860
       2-861
Those electric turnout are come with extra pieces of curved and stright tracks which are only find in those turnout sets.Reference can be found in Kato USA's web site.

Hope that those set will available in upcoming release.

Indeed, these turnouts are still missing.
The problem is that their geometry is not very clear from Kato's documentation, and we did not come to buy them yet to measure them up ourselves.

It would be very helpful if someone could scan them for us (with a ruler to confirm correct scaling) and send us the jpg's.

Otherwise, we will find another way to find their dimensions, but it'll take a bit longer!

I just photo the No4's geometry right at the back of the package. Hope that it is useful.

The geometry in the image is No4 right but since I've both of them (Left and Right), it should be OK for both side.

Thanks! This helps a lot.

If anyone has such pictures from any of the other turnouts in the H0 Kato Unitrack series, we're glad to see them!

The accessory track in the Electric turnout are come with the package and no single piece is available.
It is important to notify the user with this issue.
And the S114 of the turnout accessory track is missing in the library.

The S114 is already known as 2-120.
We don't want to define parts twice!

But indeed, a note that the other parts come with the turnout is a good idea.
