Title: The E-Z Track system geometry guide
Post by: MikesTrains on June 21, 2021, 09:09:18 AM
Folks,

Any suggestions where to find the general E-Z TrackĀ® (N) system overview that shows how all the tracks, curves and turnouts fit together?

I'm having a hard time fleshing out my layout ideas.

In particular: How are the (#4, #6, ..) turnouts supposed to fit into the wider system? If I'm not mistaken there's literally no information available on the lengths (straight route that is..) of the #4 or #6 turnouts. How should these be integrated into a layout? So for example what straight track is swapped for a #4 or what is the diverging route angle of said turnouts so we can compensate it with a counter curve for running a paralel line, etc. ..

If somebody could kindly point me into the right direction?

Much appreciated,
Mike

An aside. . .
Since early 2012 Bachmann N-scale turnouts have been wired all routes live. Before early 2012, Bachmann N-scale turnouts were wired power routing.
