#5 Turnout P/N 44566 Problem

[Bobby1939]

Just received my turnout and noticed that the distance between the two tracks at the end of the turnout is too narrow to enable the connection of the next length of tracks on each end.  It appears that the road bed will have to be trimmed on each of the next length of track.  I've looked for a Bachman piece that would fit, but can't find one.  Does anyone know of a special piece?

I'm pretty sure that's a 2-1/4" straight with 9 ties.
