My track layout is done other than one detail and that is I need to make the #6 crossovers power routing (or - worst case - cut the rail/joiner at the correct spot so that I can use a power routing switch further back to do it - though clumsily as I'd have to throw that switch when the engine got halfway across YUCK)

The turnouts are power routing but the crossovers are not - I need to make it power routing in order to use it as parallel tracks.

Can anyone assist - does anyone know how to convert it?

I have been carefully splicing all my own green lines for the switches but stumbled across the "HO Scale EZ Track Green 10' Control Wire".  Now, I'm guessing that the wires are the same for both HO and N (I can't see why they'd increase the size??)

Can anyone confirm that these extensions work with Bachmann's N scale turnouts also?

i.e. can I buy this and extend my N-scale switches?  http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/products.php?act=viewProd&productId=205

I read some posts on the #6 Crossover (Thanks for the information, I had determined yesterday that this crossover was not power isolating and now I will be making it so).

I am looking to use a #6 for a passenger station line but trying to run a single track into it (so there is a passing side/split near a branch line that is used for a passenger station).

I am trying to find a way to do a small parallel line from a single line - the remote turnouts are much too divergent in path to allow it.  I am trying to run a single track into it (so there is a passing side/split near a branch line that is used for a passenger station).

i.e. They turnouts are like this
...|
\=|
...|

and would need to be like this
.\|

The result is I end up using at least two 11.25" circle radius to try to loop back close enough that they can align to ANOTHER turnout split (this is NOT what I want AT ALL)

Does anyone know if the #6 Wye can be used for this?  i.e. will this work or is there an issue with the connection points not lining up?
