The FasTrack should be 20" to the centerline, I do not have any to verify it. The old SHS 20"R was actually 19" like the flyer track, a labeling problem again. The SHS 24" and 29" are correct sizes to the centerline. This seems to only occur in S gauge because of the original Gilbert track being measured incorrectly. If someone has a circle of FasTrack hopefully they can confirm the diameter of the 20"R track.
I have the Lionel S gauge FlyerChief Berk. It runs fine on Gilbert and on SHS track.

And just to keep it interesting, I'm starting my Xmas layout using SHS S-Trax. Some of the #00292 curved track boxes are labeled 24" radius and some are 25" radius. Haven't seen anything but 29" for the big curves and the smaller radius I have is from MTH and is very definitely 20" radius. All dimensions are to the centerline.
