How much track for a G guage oval?
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, October 18, 2006 10:06 AM

Hi,

I am looking to put a ceiling based LGB setup in my sons room.  The room is a square with no obstructions (at that height).  The dimensions are 13'6"x10'3".

How do I determine how much straight track & curved track to buy?   I am planning to use all LGB track and the curves will be the R2 (15000). 

I am looking to just do a simple oval around the whole room. 

Thanks,

Rich

1 box R2 curves
22- 12" straight
2 - 6" straight
2 - 3" straight
 
I have a diagram showing how this determination was made, contact me via e-mail and I'll forward it
 
Big Smile [:D]

   Have fun with your trains

Sounds good to me this is correct advice that Vic is giving you.
