Hello everyone, Happy New Year to all.
Setting up an oval layout came up half inch short or half inch long depends how I look at it. Having a parallel line with two cross overs using a set of two LH turnout and set of two RH turnout.
The shorter distance inside is 30 inches and is made up of 3x9" and 1x3'' straights.
The longer distance outside is 53 1/2 inches and 6x9" straight equals 54 inches.
How can I make up a 8 1/2" section with standard EZ tracks available.
I can cut and shorthen a 9" section but not if I can make it from standard sections.
Thank you for your input. pjf
I looked at that item 44592 but the sizes are not provided.
Now I know, thank you Hunt.
I do have On30 and I posted there to get more exposure. It is deleted now. pjf
pjf-
I'd cut a 9" section down rather than pay for all of
those expensive pieces only to wind up with a bunch
of rail joints.

Or you could take a 4.5" and ad 2 2" pieces. Granted to get the two inch pieces, you'll need to purchase a 90o crossing to them. I think it's the 90o crossing. For what it's worth that's how I got most of my 'filler' pieces. I didn't need the pieces when I bout the crossings, or turnout, but they have come in real handy of late.

Thank you for suggestions.
Problem solved. I cut a 3 1/2" track for the inside and used all 9" sections for the outside. Cheers, pjf
