Thanks for the advice!!!!!!

I'm building my first layout with EZ Track and would like to know what piece of track do I need to make a number 5 turnout come back to run parallel with the straight part of the turnout. I thought at first that a standard length 18 inch radius curved section would do it but it's too long and will curve into the straight piece. I am trying not to do the trial and error thing and start buying track sections that I don't need. Is there one piece of track that I can get to do this or am I going to have to do surgery on my 18 inch radius piece. Thanks for you help.

Thanks for the info!!!! I had an old multi meter that crapped out on me right before I asked this question. Ahhhh there's nothijng like forced upgrading. Thanks again.

I am using the EZ Track terminal re-railer connected to a Bachmann power supply and don't want to cut the plug off the terminal wire. I intend to wire my bus up to the opposite side of the re-railer track. My question is which tab is connected to which tab on the other side of the piece of track? Is each tab connected to the tab directly across from it or is it connected to the tab diagonal to it?
