When to choose it

This compact curve helps form an N route in a smaller area than the broader UNITRACK curves. The 45-degree pieces are suitable for a larger change of direction than the 15-degree parts in the same radius family.

Confirm that the locomotives and longest cars you intend to use are rated for this tight radius. Leave room for the roadbed and the moving cars along the outside.
