Passing Siding

[Slagathor]

Hello all im trying to put in a passing siding on my HO layout. I want to use #5 turnouts from the E-Z track line but, I dont know which/what kind of curve will bring the track back even with my main track. Any suggestions?

Hunt,

Great job, but...

You forgot to say---

"Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat...."

According to Anyrail, a perfect match in lengths between main and siding, with a slight 1.5 degree kink.  (Hard to tell?) 

Can't expect much better than that.

Added bonus, 2" fitter straight not needed. 

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik

you guys should get together and put out an ez track plan book.

A similar siding is on page 116 of the latest Bachmann track planning book by Chris Lane and HLR.
