I would like to add a couple of spur sidings to my layout.
I am considering using the # 5 Turnouts to exit the mainline to the spur.
I won't be bringing the spur back to the mainline at the other end--just terminating it.
What can I use to bring the spur back to parallel with the mainline?
a number 5 should have a frog angle of around 12 degrees, bachmann makes 12 degree curve sections for some of the larger radii. those should bring you parallel to the main track.
bachmanns #44509 is what I have on my sidings with #5 turnouts and they are parallel to main. as jward said they are 12 degrees
Thanks guys.
Dear All,
The sections mentioned above will work.
If you want to figure out any future pesky track pieces yourself, do a Bachmann Board search on "anyrail.com".
Free download, fun and easy to use.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Joe Satnik
