Hello,

My question is what pieces are needed for a turnout to make a parallel siding.

i.e. I know that a regular turnout and full 18" radius creates a parallel track.

I believe a #6 turnout with a 1/3 18" radius makes a parallel track.

What is actually required for each of these?

a #5 turnout and a ? (this is the one I am having a problem with.)

a #6 turnout and a ?

I am tired of buying pieces and experimenting.

I would also like to know if there is a E-Z track database or software program that would allow me to design a layout on the PC with E-Z track components.  Atlas has a great one for their track, but it is not the same as E-Z Track.

Thanks,
