Howdy,

Welcome to the forum.

You may want to take this post to the Model railroader forums, they are more into N and HO scales, we do mostly O here.

Maybe one of my Multi-sacale counterparts could help out here

Regards,
Chris

CSXtrains23-- my personal experience with the Bachmann EZ track was not a good one. The track only has 2 radius's--11.75 in. and 19 in. I don't like the turnouts, etc. I threw it all in the garbage-- and went with Kato's Unitrack. Kato has a COMPLETE system- radius goes from 8.5" to 15" in 1.3" steps. there are also 19" and 28.25" radius tracks that match the #4 & #6 turnouts. curves come in 45* & 15* sections. Straights range from 1 1/8" to 9 3/4". They also have an elevated system of track. turnouts are reliable, and can be made power routing or non power routing, with a live or dead frog. It's more expensive than EZ track, but IMHO, you get what you pay for. Most of the online retailers do discount from MSRP, and there is always EBAY(which just happens to be where I got most of mine).
hope this helps!

I almost forgot: here's the link to Kato's website: http://katousa.com Just click on unitrack---

I use it to test my HO locomotives and to keep them in good running order.I cannot speak for the N-gauge version but the Ho Version provides good electrical contact as well as a secure connection that holds together very well.In fact I hang a complete loop of 22" easy track on the wall when not in use and it has lasted several years with no problems.
