EZ Track Crossover #6

[johnd]

Since I am new to this hobby - need some help. Is using two EZ Track Crossovers (Left And Right) better than using 4 turnouts. Anybody know the length of these crossovers? They kind of look neat but pricy.

Thanks!

The crossover makes installation a bit easier.  What is the cost of four turnouts?  How does that compare to the price of one crossover?

Thanks for your help Gene.

Checking various places on the internet - the crossovers are about 2x the price of turnouts. Turnouts run from approx 11.00 to 15.00. Best I can find on crossovers is 41.50.

Thanks Barry but I should have said N Gauge. Questions in "General Discussion" seem to be seen by more people and answers are quicker.

Thanks for the link winjie. Do you think there is an advantage using them instead of the regular turnouts? I am finding that the standard EZ Track turnouts are a bear to work with - still having problems with derailing. Would you mind measuring them and tell me how long they are.
