I don't know, but a number 10 turnout is the minimum preferred size for slow speed sidings. 9 can save a little space and still accommodate longer cars. 8 is the minimum allowed but not useful for the longer cars.

Well, that advice is warranted for the price you paid for it. Good luck with your project.
