'Standard curve'?

[RalphC]

I am trying to place an online order for some borders and barriers but the stockist has closed their telephone lines and I do not have the track here, so I cannot see the codes. It's for C1388 (Sunset Speedway) and the description just says Standard curve 45 or 80 degree. Which of the four possible radii is a standard curve please? TIA. Ralph

R2 - 45 deg , most common curve found in sets or track designs.

They do make a 90 but it restricts building some designs.

 

Borders can be black and flat or tan with a red ridge.

Personally preferr black.

Cost can add up and many curves do not really need them.

Fencing can be used and have used h o just for slight barrier.

Aprons and fencing will not prevent a fast moving car from falling on the floor.

There are other track building alternatives, but based on your question, you are not yet ready for them.
