Build The Main Straight Track

Connect the 1st switch with a straight track of 69,2 Meter. (Table straight track A)

Connect the straight track with the 2nd switch

Build The Curved Track And 3rd Switch

Return to switch 1 and connect a curved track with a radius of 40 meters and a length of 56.3 meters (Tabel curved segment B).

At the end of the curve, a switch with a right turnout is built.

Here you can build the track that is needed for the length of a locomotive or a whole train.

Connect The 3rd With The 2nd Switch

Insert a short straight piece of track 6.6 meters long (Tabel short straight track C).

Without this straight piece of track, it is not possible to keep the radius fairly accurate.

If it gets too big, the angle on the 2nd switch is too sharp.

We build the last curved track in the direction of the 2nd switch. The radius of 40 meters can be maintained almost exactly.

Switch to circle mode and connect. That's all.
