Which switch should i use to connect two ovals of track. Will either be two 22inch track ovals or a 22 and 18.
Want to run two trains at the same time.
Thank you/

Bachmann makes a #6 crossover (right and left)
That would be what I would use.

Be aware the #6 crossover is intended for DCC layouts. It does not provide any isolation between the inner and outer loops without modifications if you are running a DC layout.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

Yes you will need to cut gaps in the rails if you need to isolate the loops.

Not just the rails. Their are moifications that also have to be made to the connections under the roadbed.

Thanks Len, I forgot about that as I do not use EZ-track on my layout.

Well you can use two #6's, but if you don't intended to run any engines or cars with a 22" minimum radius, you can use two #5's but you would need a short straight length in between, you can cut it to fit your existing ovals.
