The width of roadbed on a single piece of fastrack is about 4 inches.
The diameter of any circle of fastrack, roadbed edge to roadbed edge, will be whatever its advertised diameter is plus 4 inches.
So that makes the diameter of a o72 circle 76 inches, from roadbed edge to roadbed edge.
The roadbed 87mm or 3.43" wide. Using switches, crossover & wyes it all fits better using 6" center rail to center rail spacing.
Moonman,i am sorry i should have been more clear about what i wanted to know,it was the diameter of the various ovals that i was looking for,but thanks for your response.
Flash,your answer was what i was looking for,i just measured the fast track & it was 3 3/8 inches wide,so a 072 diameter plus 3 3/8" would give me 75 3/8",i would use 76" to round it off,thanks for your response also.
