Peco Set Track

 was at the local hobby store and looked at some peco set track small radius switches ST 240 and ST241, if forgot what the guy measured the straight side either 6 inches or 6.5 inches. I looked on the peco site they have good templates but not for the set track, anyone know how long these are? also I have never used peco for these set track switches is there any feed wires needed or just install them. also can they be switched manualy or do you have to wirea switch machine to them, I prefer manual.
thank you

What do you mean by "set" track? If it's track that came w/ a train set it would seem the track sizes would all be the same. There's no good reason for an MR company to make different sizes for train sets & other uses.

Set track is what Peco calls their code 100 turnouts. They have sharper curves and are more compact.

Hers is a Trainboard thread from back in the day that lists sizes:
