Model railway track layout - has branch curvature extending over 60 degrees for accurate scale modelling and reduction of derailing danger

摘要

The track lay-out is for model railways, using a straight and/or curved track sections, points, etc., to form branches off a small track circle of small radius, onto a track circle of larger radius. The curvature of the branch (14) extends over an angle of pref. 80 deg. in the first direction, from the branch-off point (16) of the smaller circle (81) to the connection point (17) with the larger circle (R2), in in a second opposite direction, from the branch-off point (17) of the larger circle, to the connection point (16) of the smaller circle. The curvature of the branch using this angle and in the first branch-off direction, uses at first a section curved less than the small track circle. With an increasing curvature angle, it has constantly increasing stronger curve.
