Bachmann does make them but I always cut my own.

That's a pretty good question.

It seems to me that Bachman ez track needs to be modified to fit the atlas plans.

Does atlas offer one inch custom pieces?

If not, pieces can always be cut.

The shortest Atlas True-Track straight is 1 1/2 inch.

Atlas has sectional Snap track in short pieces, in both Code 100 and 83, in their track assortments, but it does not have the roadbed like True-Track.
