the o-72 crossover on the module main line conforms to the Lionel no. 37149 fastrack modular specifications for railroad straight section kits, 291⁄2 x 45 inches. to learn more about this new minimum curvature modular system, visit www.Lionel.com or www.lionelcollectors.org and search on “modular”.
There are a variety of track and layout designs that make curves less of an issue. For example you could build around the walls of a room instead of a platform in the center, or build a linear switching layout.
A 4 percent grade routes trains up, down, and around the curves at each end of the layout. Don’t have a computer or slide rule handy to calculate the proper track eleva-
2 wrz 2012 · The example layouts use primarily O36 curves as their basis, with some layouts using O48 curves on the mainline, and others using O60 and O72 mainline curves. The latter are generally the larger layouts.
Lionel Fastrack Atlas 21st Century O Gauge Track . This plan is an example of the impact of using wide-radius curves on a layout. The plan using Realtrax software uses O42 curves and occupies a space 12 by 12 feet. With Fastrack, we use O48 and O60 curves, and the layout fits a 14 x 16 space.
This layout designer’s table provides a handy guide to straight Fastrack lengths from 1 3/8 to 10 inches that can be made up from available FasTrack sections. Curves. Curves available from 031 to 096 allow for more realistic operation. You will need a wider radius than O31 for the operation of larger locomotives.
