HO / Re: EZ track & 22" radius
November 29, 2010, 03:08:41 PM
thank you all of you for your help.  I will look into the references for using the # 5 turnout before going back to the model train store to get the turnouts.  We do have a sizable train table for his layout - 6' x 8', we made it that big so that we could have some room to grow AND keep the track from being right on the edge so our little guy (who is 18 months) can quite reach the track!

I remember playing with my dad's train table when I was a child and how much fun it was.  I am not sure who is having more fun with this, my 5 year old or me!  He truly loves trains, it started out with Thomas and friends and now has moved into all kinds of model steam trains.  I look at it as being much better than sitting around playing video games like so many kids his age.

Thank you very much! 
I have seen both of these but was not sure which one worked with the 22" radius track.  They looked very similar, # 6 being longer. 
Every layout plan I have found only had the turnouts for the 18" radius track, you have made my day, and my five year old's - he is going to be so happy when I install some switches for him!

HO / EZ track & 22" radius

I am new to model railroading in that I am building my son a layout.  We have the 22" radius Nickel EZ Track and I would like to install some switches to add an extra layer in the oval (outer half circle) in the oval we already have, however I am not sure what turnout we need - any suggestions?  I apologize if I am not using the correct terminology, kind of learning as I go with the layout.
