Double curve section number 3 radius 505mm 19 7/8in. 45 degree curve, 8 required to form a complete circle.
Equivalent to Hornby R609 and Bachmann 36-609 3rd radius double curve tracks.
Double curve sections allow ciruits to be created quickly with a minimum of joins between the curved sections. The larger number 3 radius is designed to construct a circuit around the outside of a circuit at No.2 radius, with the track spacing set so that two left-hand or right-hand points will form a cross-over between the two circuits. Larger radius curves allow trains to run safely at higher speeds without derailment. Double curves allow circuits to be contructed quickly with a minimum of rail joints.
Peco track is manufactured in Great Britain using quality nickel-silver rail which offers good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. Setrack track is supplied with fishplates already fitted and is compatible with the track supplied with Hornby and Bachmann train sets.
