35-Gauge R750 Curved Rail Track by ymrich

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

A curved segment of the 35mm-gauge rail track system. The 35 millimeter designation refers to the distance between the centers of the rail profiles. The curved segment covers an arc of 15 degrees of a 750mm-radius circle (i.e.12 segments are needed for a 180-degree turn). The radius is measured from the center of the inner rail.
The track comprises four basic elements which are printed separately: sleepers, clamps, rails and connectors.
Assembly instructions:
snap-in two clamps into a sleeper with their print-baseplate side facing in the same direction.
Take two rails (an inner and an outer one) and push them inside the gaps of the clamps with the print-baseplate-facing side of the clamps pointed away from the tracks, until the rail is stopped by the baseplate-contact residue. Now firmly push the rail until it cuts through the residue and then slide the sleeper in the desired position.
I use 7 sleepers per track segment, but the sleeper density is entirely up to you.
Finally slip on two track connectors at one end of the segment onto the rails. This time, push the rail into the print baseplate-facing side of the connectors, otherwise the friction of the length of the connector combined with the resistance of the residue will require excessive force which could damage the track and/or the connector.
Enjoy!
