Is there an EZ-Track curve that can bring the turnout route back to a parallel course with the original track route?

The 10 degree 18"R (item 44530) piece is close.  Unfortunately, it lowers your minimum radius to 18".

Hope this helps.

If your loco is too heavy to lift, you'd better be able to ride in, on or behind it.

inv tan(1/6) is approximately 9½°
so a Joe mentioned, look for a section or combination of sections that will equal about 9½° - 10° is probably close enough.

Personally; I'd take an 18° section of 35.5" radius, and cut it in half, then use rail joiners, a bit of adhesive and a splice plate to hold the half section to switch.  If only a small amount of adhesive is used, it will not be difficult to pop it off.  The 35.5" radius will provide smooth operation.
