Double curve section number 1 radius, 371mm (14 5/8in). 45 degree curve, 8 required to form a complete circle.
Equivalent to Hornby R605 No.1 radius double curve.
Double curves are the quick way to create a circuit of track with a minimum of joints in the curves. Just 4 are needed to reverse direction at each end of an oval, with 8 forming a complete circle.
No.1 radius at 14 5/8in is the sharpest radius available in the OO track range and the sharpest radius which smaller OO model trains can be expected to travel round without derailing. Many large models, including large steam and diesel locomotives, modern passenger coaches and long wagons will not successfully negotiate a curve this sharp. We recommend using small locomotives and traditional short 4-wheel wagons on no.1 radius circuits.
Peco track uses durable and corrosion resistant nickel-silver rail for long lasting performance. Peco Setrack track sections are fully compatable with Hornby and Bachmann track and are supplied with fishplates already fitted at both ends, ready for attachment to other track sections.
