Dear All,
Just showing off what you can do with AnyRail.com.
Figure-8 in Oval Recipe - 22"R x 30 degrees, 4'x9' (extended length) table top.
(http://i837.photobucket.com/albums/zz296/joebarb/30deg22fig8oval_zpscf66a4f5.jpg)
A 7" long 30 degree crossing is needed.
Either cut a 44540 Bachmann 11-15/16" 30 degree crossing down to 7" length (each leg end 3-1/2" from center of diamond) or,
use a 30 degree x 4" Code 100 crossing and add 1-1/2" fitters to each leg (as shown above).
2 Left and 2 Right #5 Bachmann turnouts are needed for the entire layout.
Traveling away from 7" crossing: (the following are all Bachmann HO Nickel-Silver E-Z Track)
One 26"R -18 degree curve
Two 22"R -22.5 degree curves
#5 turnout
Four 22"R -22.5 degree curves
Two 9" Straights off the main line end of the turnout.**
Multiply by 4 to get the entire parts list.
The layout needs dual insulated joiners or both rails gapped at or near the "crossed" (or non-circled) track joints shown on the diagram above.
DCC operation with a DCC auto-reverser recommended.
(DC-block operation with manual track polarity reversing would get too intensive.)
**Two of the eight total straights could be replaced with straight terminal re-railers. (One on the left side of the insulated rail joiners, one on the right.)
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Joe Satnik
