OK I must have miss spoke.  I am not combining differant track makes.  I will be building out of all Bachmann EZ track.  The layout is discribed uisng Atlas track, I am trying to figure out what an Atlas #4 or #6 switch translates to in the Bachmann EZ track.

OK I am building a lay out that has two (2) ovals.  One with 18" radius curves inside another using 22" radius curves.  Atlas says to use #6 or #4 switches to link the loops.  What dose this translate to in the EZ track.  Would I use the  EZ track #5 turnout?  Was at first looking at the EZ track #6 Cross over, but the length of that piece is a little two (2) big, seems I remember it is 22" long.  where the turn out looks more like 9" or so. Attached is the layout, the red ovals are the sections I am wondering about.  :-\

Yea that would work.  Should have played with the switches first.  They can be connected in seires, with power to one end.  So I run the three wire leads from each switch under the table to the connected switches and bingo.  Place half on one controler, running two (2) trains, and half on the other.  That should work, and still leave some power for lights and such when I get that far.  50yr old and playing with my first train set. ;D

OK I have a non-DCC system.  I have about ten switches that need to be wired.  I have the momentary switchs that come with the Cross Overs and Switch outs, but I am looking for a control Box.  I want to run all the wires for the switches over to one box.  Is there something already made for that, or do I need to create one.  The momentary switchs, can they be powered in seires, or does each need it's own ower lead.
