Good question jacon12. I was wondering about that myself. <br /> <br />What I have has been in an attic for at least 25 years - it was my grandfathers. <br /> <br />There are several different styles of curves as shown below. Each seem slightly different, but that could be due to the many years of heat/cold in the attic. Here is what they say: <br /> <br />1) Atlas, 18" R, Snap, Track, F <br />2) 18" R-2560, GT Austria, AHM <br />3) Sector 30 (degree), Radius 18", Made in Italy <br />4) Atlas, 22" R, Snap, Track <br /> <br />I assume 1 through 3 are all the same, but I'm not sure if the 18" R refers to a centerline, inside or outside dimension. Any help? <br /> <br />My proposed layout utilizes the 18" because of limited space for turns and an abundance of this size track. <br /> <br />Let me know what you think. - and thanks in advance for all the great info this forum has to offer. WOW!!!
