I'm making a passing point using Peco LH and RH large streamline points and was wondering which curve to get to bring the tracks back parallel? with Hornby express points you use the R628 curve to do this

The problem is that SLE 88/89 are Streamline points and so most would use Flexible track with it, however, using Peco Settrack, you can use ST238 to bring it back in line. It would however bring the tracks closer than the normal track centre for Settrack and Streamline, which could be an issue in some cases.

Putting an ST203 between the SLE 88/89 and the ST238 would take it to Streamline track centres and using three of them would take it to a little more than Settrack track centres. If you use two it will put the track centres between the those of Streamline and Settrack.

I was going to use flexible track as I have loads, but I was asking about the curve just for tidyness to avoid cutting the rails to length on the passing point. the areas of track before and after the passing point are more or less all flexible type bent into shallow curves, as I can't stand 2nd / 3rd radius curves which are way too sharp and trains with coaches look a bit silly going round them.
