Adding "custom" sized turnouts

I may be wrong, but theoretically, a size 5 or 6 or whatever should have the same geometry in any scale, correct?  If so, can I somehow add any size turnout to my layout (I am modeling in S-Gauge...I know, I know...)  It would be cool if there was just a bank of defined turnouts that can be added lick a track library.

Unfortunately this is not the case. The 'size' only tells the angle, not the radius or length of the turnout.
You can however take a look at the Fast Tracks libraries. These contain the track kits to build your own turnouts.

Thank you.  Any chance that the track geometry for S Fast Tracks could be created?  I dont know if that is a big ask or not.  I'm rather new and it would help me visualize what would be possible with different sized turnouts much more quickly than building things out.

S Fast Tracks is available already. Please note that we've shortened the elements to their (documented) minimum length, so you have the most freedom using them.
