Thanks for the reply.
this is what I bought: http://www.trainz.com/p-200707-bachmann-94351-g-scale-left-hand-manual-switch-track.aspx
BAC 94351 & 94352
Seems like the joiners are not compatible. I can't seem to come up with a different turnout from Bachmann though...

Decided to add a loop to my White Christmas set. Picked up a left and right hand manual turnout to do a circular loop within the oval. For the life of me I can't get the track that came with the set to join with the turnouts. Is there a trick or are these incompatible (or am I incompetent)?

Searched for this issue to no avail. Apologies if I've missed it.
