Hi John: I think the comment was about their original turnouts, that they were not closed-frog type, and could not accommodate scale wheels. I think the track itself is around code 125 and fine for heavy mainline use in scale modelling with scale wheels. I also have heard that SHS is in the process of modifying their current production turnouts (~#3?) to accommodate scale wheels and their new turnouts (#5?) will also be able to handle scale wheels. In summary, I think SHS track will handle both scale and hi-rail wheels, and their turnouts will in the near future. I am sure that Don will give you particulars in an e-mail!
