Marklin 8510 - Z Track (145 mm) 5-3/4R, 45 degree Curve
Radius 145 mm / 5-3/4 inches. 45°.
Charlie's Tips: These pieces are 45 degrees each. That means that 4 pieces make a half circle.
The radius is 145mm, which is close to 5-3/4 inches. That means that a half or full circle has a diameter of 11-1/2 inches. This is measured from the center of the track piece to the center of the track piece.
The second picture shows the track geometry.
- For a full circle you need 8 pieces
- For a half circle you need 4 pieces
- For a 90 degree turn (quarter circle) you need 2 pieces
- For a wider circle, use 8520 or 8521
- For an even wider circle, use 8530 or 8531
If you would like a full box, order 10 pieces, they are packed in box of 10.
This is the tightest Z-scale curve available. It gives you a tighter curve than is possible with flex-track
