[size=1" face="Verdana" id="quote]quote:As for the wide slim double-switch crossing and the wider curved turnouts I'm quite certain they will be economical to produce, there are many railroaders who want them. If Märklin have issues with profitability, they should start including some of the wider radius in the expansion-sets, why not an expansionset with wide-radius curved turnouts+a few R4 and R5 and the straights?
Hi "Leo Arietis"
if marklin manufactured curved turnous for R4+R5 and slim double-switch crossing, they have problems with polarised tracks. They must teach a lot of sellers an the sellers must teach millions of marklin-fans why this is absolutely essential.
Only a small part of Marklin-Fans hav enough elektric information for these things. So I must teach almost every modelrailer about the polarised tracks on my K-turnouts an I have a sample cicuit on my homepage:

Good picture there to point that out weichen-walter! We are both aware of that problem.
I think however that Märklin can solve that problem inside the track with micro-switches, depending on how you shift the turn-out.
By switching the crossing rail in the middle of each track that crossing track can serve as puckos for the pick-up-shoe. Ofcourse this means you can not drive into the turnout from the "wrong direction" when its switched at the "wrong" direction, but that problem is easily solved by contact-track built in at each of the two ends of the turnout so whenever a set of wheels are there, the turnout swiches to that direction.
I have used that connection on a run-aound loop and the effect is that the trains each other time goew in different directions on the loop since they change the swich.
