Layout clarification

[Newegineer]

Can anyone help with EZ track part# or part descriptions for this layout?  I found it on Pinterest while looking for layout ideas using Bachmann EZ track as the main search criteria.

I actually found the original layout which is in Atlas track.  I guess a simple conversion will do the trick?

A link to the layout on Pinterst would help.

You cannot directly duplicate this layout with EZ track. The layout used Atlas Snap Switches, which have a curves route of 20 degrees. The equivalent EZ Track switches are 30 degrees, meaning you would have to do a redesign of the track plan  and it would take up a LOT more space.

Thank you both.  Len, the links above are directly to the "site" that provided the layout.

As Jeff said, that layout cannot be directly duplicated using EZ-Track. Unlike the standard EZ-Track switches, the Atlas switches include a 1/3 section of 18" radius track that can be reversed to creat a parallel track. The diverging section of the EZ-Track switch roadbed is permanently attached, and cannot be reversed in the same manner.

Honestly, if I were building this layout in either Atlas or EZ track I'd use #4 switches instead of Snap Switches or their equivalent. The Atlas ones are designed to fit where you have a 9" straight just like a Snap switch, and the EZ track ones are just an inch longer. What you'd sacrifice by the realignment of the layout mto accomodate these switches would be more than compensated for by the elimination of the s curve problems the Snap switches cause. You'd wind up with a much more derailment free layout.

Thank you all for your expert input.  I have moved on to another idea and will ask for your expertise as needed, thanks!!!
