Title: Sections of track required
Post by: hawaiiho on September 25, 2009, 02:43:14 PM

I have the numbers for 18 and 22 inch radius track.

Does someone know the number of sections of 26 inch radius curved track required to build an oval? I would hate to order and find out I'm short.
The gray roadbed if that make any difference.

Twenty-six inch radius comes in 18^o sections. An oval requires 360^o of curvature. So you would need 360 / 18 = 20 pieces.

Thanks Jim.

I finally found the information in the Bachmann on line catalog.

That's usually the last place I expect to find any thing regarding

specifications. :D
