Hi, 

I would like to use a preformed layout base from Noch for my layout.  The layout I am particularly interested in is the Noch Rosenheim layout.  I understand the radii of the curves are tight on this layout (approximately 15"), but I just don't have enough space for a larger layout and would really like to not start from scratch.  Ideally, I would prefer to use Bachmann E-Z track.  Noch provides layout plans using: Markin C, Marklin K, Fleischmann Profi, Piko A, Roco geoLine, and Trix C, but not any using American Standard brands.  If I have to I will use Trix C, but would really prefer Bachmann.

I would like to convert one of these other manufacturer's plans to E-Z track, but E-Z track doesn't offer "curved turnouts".  I think it may be possible to use regular turnouts by adjusting the design slightly, but I don't yet own the layout base and don't want to purchase a bunch of track for a trial-and-error fit.  I'm wondering if there is a way to convert one of these other manufacturer's layout designs to E-Z track to fit on this pre-formed layout?  I believe that this design would be of benefit to both Bachmann and Noch from a business perspective, and it is possible that someone has already done it.

Any thoughts?  Thanks for the help.

Tom
