Reply to "20-inch radius curves vs. 36 diameter curves"

Ok boys and girls, here are the measurement results for the AM 27"R track and the Lionel 20"R FasTrack. First, AM markets 21"R, 24"R and 27"R curves. I have some of the 27"R curves that were included in their older sets. I have one Lionel set that included Fastrack. They market 20"R and 27"R.

The AM 27"R track makes a 54" diameter circle measured center to center. So it is correctly marketed to current track measurement standards.

The Lionel 20"R Fastrack makes a 38" diameter circle measured center to center. It is the same as the SHS/MTH track, it uses the old Gilbert protocol for radius measurement.

I do not have any 27"R FasTrack to measure, but I do have some of the old K-Line Gilbert style 27"R track. I have it in storage, when I find it I will post its dimensions. I do not have any American S gauge or GarGraves sectional track.
