Title: Ez track
Post by: philws on February 18, 2015, 07:10:55 PM
 Is there any markings on 18 and 22 track to tell what they are like 18 or 22.

Dear Phil,
The 18" radius full sections are longer, as it takes twelve of them to make a circle; it takes sixteen 22" sections to make a circle.
They are not marked.
Have fun!

Please, no offense intended, but isn't it a "no no" to post the same question 2X on the forum in 2 different places?

Copied from a larger post of mine from 2010:

Dear All,

Measure the straight line (chord) distance between the inside corners of the roadbed.

Chord length calculated to the nearest sixteenth of an inch and ~ mm:

18"R-30deg = 8-13/16" ~ 224mm

22"R-22.5deg = 8-3/16" ~ 208mm


Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik
