About this document
Turnout Geometry Calculations Guide by Min Chan Moon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides calculations and formulas for modeling turnout geometry on model railways. It describes two methods for drawing turnouts: using pre-cut templates or calculating dimensions from prototype specifications. Formulas are provided for calculating the turnout curve radius, lead (distance from heel to crossing), crossing angle, and offsets from the heel-gauge intersection chord. An example calculation applies the formulas to design a turnout with a given radius, switch angle, and heel diverge
