Add to the catalog, the Power-Loc turnouts that are available with the Bradford Exchange "Super Track Pack".
They are like the turnouts found at the Walthers web site, "PowerLoc Track, Track Expander Set". See how I mocked them up in my layouts.

Thank you for the request, and for mocking the turnouts up in your layouts. That made it clear which pieces you meant.
Walthers Power-Loc is now in the catalog (HO, listed as "Walthers Power-Loc (formerly Life-Like)"). It has the 9" straight, the 18" radius curve, the left and right manual turnouts from the Track Expander Set, the 90° crossing, the terminal track with rerailer, the lighted bumper and the adapter track to regular rail-joiner track. The older Life-Like numbers are there too, including the remote-control turnouts and the 22" radius curve.
Two things it doesn't do yet: Bradford Exchange's own item numbers aren't listed, and the parts list counts the set pieces one by one instead of as a whole set. The turnouts you mocked up in your existing layouts stay as they are; you would swap them for the new ones yourself.
Could you tell us a bit more?
- What else is in your Super Track Pack besides the turnouts? If any straights or curves differ in length or radius from the Walthers pieces, which sizes are they?
- Are your turnouts thrown by hand, or do they have a remote-control motor?
- What is the layout for: a display around a tree or a village, or a permanent layout? And what do you do with the finished plan, for example buy from the parts list, print it or share it?

Bradford Exchange sells sets of track without item numbers, and without saying that they are the Walther Power-loc. Their starter set contains 12 18" radius curve track, 1 9" straight track, and the 9" straight terminal track with rerailer. The "Super Track Pack HO-Gauge Train Accessory Collection" contains 14 9" straight track, 6 18" radius curve track, left and right remote-control turnouts, and 2 3" adapter track to regular rail-joiner track. The Bradford Exchange sets may contain more in the future, subject to change by Bradford Exchange. The essential point is that the Bradford Exchange collector railway pieces are the Power-loc. I will leave it to you to determine the item numbers for the Walther Power-loc remote-control turnouts (I do not see the Walther web site selling them).
With my track set I am planning different layouts for fun, not for a permanent layout. The Bradford Exchange sets were given to me as a gift. Trackplanner.io made it possible to imagine more ideas! Thanks so much! I will freely share my layouts on your site.
