Large Scale Central

Switch Radius

I was just wonderering as some of the newer, larger equipment comes out, if the older 2ft radius switches still work. Granted, larger radii is always better, aesthetically and operationally. But at slow speeds, is the small radius completely incompatible with this equipment? I realize this question also depends on the specific equipment we’re talking about (wheel configurations, articulated, turning range, etc.) I have a number of the smaller switches and I’d hate to have to completely replace them.

Thanks for your input
