Title: #6 turnouts
Post by: akd_08362 on March 14, 2023, 07:57:32 PM

I just started with Bachmann E-Z Track and having problem with #6 turnouts. How do you attach track after the turnout? The #4 turnout has a right angle cut out to fit the joining track. Is there a special track for the DCC #6 turnout?

Dear AKD,
If you need to, simply nip off a wedge of plastic with a diagonal cutter.
Have fun!

I thought there would be a neater solution like a special track fit.

Also not familiar with diagonal cutter. Could you give me an idea?

thanks Al

Underneath the small straight piece, there should be a scored line. You could also cut it with a saw.

Thanks for the input, Terry. I've asked someone with more experience to handle the cuts.
