Im building a 5’x9’ layout and that allows me to finally use bigger curves and since i have a good supply of E-Z track i just had to wonder if Bachmann made 24" curves. If not would it be possible to use 26" curves with a 5’ wide board? Any help would really be appreciated!

Bachmann makes 22" and 26" radius EZ track, no 24"
yes you can use 26inch curves on a five foot wide table top andstill have 2 incheso space from the edge of the table top i know cause i had a five foot wide tabletop type layout but space restrictions made me hae to go the shelf type layour with no continous loop butt oh well its over and done with and im useing bachman ztrack ilsee ya down the line zachary flowe
That is what i call good info thanks guys! Now if i get 26" curves my intermodal cars will look great! No more overhang for me!
I think they make 28"also and you should be able to go with that on a 60" wideset up
I go 22"on my 48" wide with no problems
For future reference just multiply the radius by 2. Your 26 inch radius curves will need 52 inches. That’s center of track to center of track on the loop so you’ll need another 2 inches for the track edge bringing it to 54. 5 foot wide is 60 inches giving you breathing room in case of derailments.
yur welcome m jus glad i could help somene in this hobby sice ive gotten all kinds of help fro here this a great place if u have any mor questions just pm me and il be happy to help
