Hi, I am using Peco #6 code 83 turnout kit. I have a single crossing with two RH turnouts, with a distance between the two rails of 95mm.

Does anyone know the length of spacer between turnouts? Thanks.

If the kit matches the SL-8361 in the AnyRail library, 266.3474 mm.

Putting two SL-8361's back-to-back makes c-to-c 51.04 mm.  Divide the additional 43.96 mm by the sin of 9.5 degrees to get 266.3474.

I'm using PECO Code 55 Unifrog Medium Radius in N scale for my switch yard. The Code 55 does not appear in the library suggested. Can I just use the ration bewteen HO and N scale to find a solution for a 2 inch clearance between tracks?

Part SL-U395F is available in the library.

Thanks for this information. I can't open it because it's in a later version of AnyRail, and my computer freezes whenever I try to install updates, but I'll take up that issue with tech support.
