Track asset database with dimensions

[Dennis HO]

Eey folks,

 

I came accross a really useful website with a full dimensional track database. Quite useful if you want to know the dimensions or the track radius of a point or double slip.

Be aware that the radii (I can say for certain at least for Peco) are "nominal".  This means that the angle and radius of the track ends especially for for wyes and curved points will often not be accurate for real life, but that the end position will be roughly correct using the radius listed. The points are compounds made up of straights and curves of different radii so a single radius for each path will not work.  These discrepancies are usually not important until complex sets of points are used close together in tight formation.   

 

At least in the case of the latest XTrackCAD, in HO/OO and N (because I did the work with kind help from Peco) the included definitions are accurate for position, angle and radius at the ends of the points.
