FasTrack Time Saver

Gilly,

Which track sections do you use for the run-around? I come up with a 1" gap when using standard FastTrack on the lower part and can't seem to come up with how to make that fit except maybe using 8 4.5" sections.

The Run-Around takes a 4.5", 10", O-36 Half & O-36 Quarter - all the turnouts are 36" diameter - works out perfect for me.

Well, I was going to email you, but don't see your email address in your profile. Tony was almost right. Instead of 4.5" I used 5". This will accommodate uncoupling sections in the track. Keep in mind the 5" applied to both the run-around and the spur just below it too.

Much better!

I was attempting to use the switches with their respective 1/4 round ends off the turnout. Works much better without and narrows things up a bit.

Since I didn't have the 4.5" sections and a 1/2 curve section I just left these out. Stacked the 1/4 turns off the switches to make up for the 1/2 curve. Still has the room for one car on the upper run-around.

THANKS for the help!
