I am debating if I should use 2265/6 turnout or the 227815/6 turnout. I will be using ESU servo control on them. 1) Which do you recommend? Advantages disadvantages? 2) is there a problem down the line to have a 64.6 mm spread or a 57mm spread between rails, which each turnout leads to, for curves? Thanks

Track distance of 57 mm also looks great, however this is also a matter of available space; Depending on your rolling stock, you may need wider curves based on flex tracks.

I am planning on using mainly flex track so that would not be a problem. Great idea to use the 2265/6 in hidden areas actually was probably planning on using c track too there too. I was just concern about passenger train touching in curves with the 57mm spread! Will I be limited for some options and flexibility of the layout?
