Title: What piece is this
Post by: mikec069 on August 10, 2008, 01:42:57 PM
I have a piece of track that I can not identify.  It's either a 30 or 60 degree crossing.  The only readable information on the usderside of the track is H4440-A.

Any ideas?  I can't find that part number on the site.  I am trying something new.  I'm going to try and plan the layour before laying down the track.   ;)

As always any and all information is appreciated.

Is it black roadbed or gray roadbed?

Can you post a pic-a-ture of the crossing?

If not, lay it on a piece of paper, and mark the four points where the flat side of the roadbed tabs meet the (vertical face) end of the roadbed.

Remove the crossing from the paper, and with a ruler, draw a rectangle using those four points.  Measure the length and width of that rectangle (milli-meters preferrable, but inches will do) and report back.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik

if its ez-track a 60 degree is only 2 or 3" and 30 degree is like 9 or something so its a big size difference

Get a protractor and measure the smallest (closest to being completely closed) angle.
