Excellent video, there are some turnouts that actually have 3 ways. There are some aggressive ones out there 2 and more for mainline usage. At our train club, we have a 3 way switch. It's a little more complicated, but it works.
Great video, but you definitely might wanna look into a Part 2 talking about Turnout Angles. I've wasted countless hours in Anyrail digitally planning my dream layouts only to see plans go up in smoke when I couldn't work out the right combination of half & third curve pieces to get a track out of a turnout back to parallel with the track next to it. Atlas #4 is by far the worst; Unless you're going into another #4 turnout, if you want parallel track avoid those like the plague! Sadly, that applies to Atlas Wye turnouts too as they seem to have the same or similar angles as the #4. It also means that you can't follow old track plan books to the letter as many of the track pieces they list may come out wrong. I've yet to determine whether the design of turnouts from some companies, especially Atlas, has changed over the years, or if the publishers of these books left the wrong piece details in there deliberately as some kind of obtuse challenge to the novice modeler, like "It's not going together like the diagram? Time to put your potentially non-existent skills to the test and work out how to fix it."

I hope you do a layout over view. Go into detail of it and the track plan
It all makes sense now. My wallet and I thank you.
Bachmann EX track turnouts are the worst
