Title: Getting 22 inch E-Z Track Curves Apart
Post by: UnumProvident101 on December 30, 2016, 02:57:57 PM
Does anyone know how to get bachmann's 22 inch e-z track curves apart because I'm worried if I pull them I might break them

Have you tried turning them over and gently pressing the tabs inward as you pull?

Whatever you do, don't use pliers.

Fingers are good. I never had much luck using my toes. ;)

Elbows, just like trying to play the piano with them, are probably not a good idea either.  :)

28 inch curves are easier to get apart than 22 inch ones imo

Your dad sounds a lot smarter.
I have had pieces get stuck also but just kept pulling. I never broke one that way but will say if the locking tabs break it's ok.

If all else fails, one of these should work...
