Double-Track Curved Rail

R-05

Shape of Double-Track Curved Rail

A curve that stays double track. The inner and outer lines have different radii.

The inner and outer lines turn around the same center, so the outer one travels the longer path. The difference between the 2 radii is exactly the double-track spacing.

Laying 2 single-track curves side by side does not make a double-track curve (the spacing can't stay constant). Where the track turns, use the double-track parts.

Build with these exact dimensions

You can lay out every part, Double-Track Curved Rail included, using real-world dimensions. It accounts for the free play in every joint, so you know whether the loop closes before you build.
