Dimensions, please...Walthers Shinohara right hand #6 turnout code 83

I know the inside and outside radii from the website.

Does anyone have a quick pic or link to show the “length” of the entire piece, pls.?

Thanks to anyone with a quick ruler of snapshot.

Maybe this will help?

Also according to XtrackCad the 6.5 curved turnout measures right at 12-5/8" long. The program has been exactly right for other Walthers track/turnouts for me so far.

Turn the turnout over and look near the frog, the radius,of both tracks,is stamped in the ties there…

Cheers,

Cisco Kid , my walthers catalog says 12- 21/32" for code 100 but that should not matter. my tape measure tells me different. Take a look at this # 6 code 100 turnout

A measurement of my turnout of this make, which I believe is 24" inside radius and 28" outside radius, is 16 1/4" on the inside radius, and 17 1/4" on the outside radius, measured from railend to railend, on their respective sides of the turnout. Hope this helps.

I agree with Walt: the maximum length is 12 5/8". If measured along the curved centerline, the length is about 12 3/4". Actually, it is labeled a #6.5, not #6, and the radii are 24/18, not the advertised 24/20. In fact all their curved turnouts overstate the diverging radii by 2". At least mine are that way and most are relatively new.
