Also these #6 turnouts are driving me nuts because aside from the curve issue I mentioned above I’m having a pain of a time trying to get the correct length straight track in here.

Atlas could at least make that argument, or for someone to custom cut a 24” section, I guess.
But Bachmann EZ Track?!?!

Gimme a 10-degree section of at least 22” radius, if not 26 or 28 or broader.
Or better yet gimme a 9-degree section, the turnout angle maths to 9.5 anyway, and it’s a half section of the 28” radius anyway
