Went to the local hobby store today and found nothing in the way of comparison/contrast for turnouts. Did some more reading, looked at the 30 or 40 magazines we have and decided to go with the #6's everywhere and save the #4's for our switching yard. Templates are being copied so we can lay them out as soon as the benchwork is complete. Stopped by Home Depot, Lowes & Menards today as well to do some bargain shopping. Will go back in the morning and get all the lumber necessary to start the benchwork as well as the paint for the basement walls. Totally psyched about starting this layout. Photos of the progress will be coming soon. Thanks for all the input. You guys rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
