When to choose it

Use this smaller HO curve when the plan has less room for a bend and the rolling stock is rated for it. The 22.5-degree sections let you turn through part of a curve before adding a straight.

Kato specifies R430 and four sections for item 2-260. Check the minimum radius of your equipment and the clearance around the entire arc.

Questions about this product

How much of a turn does the four-pack cover?

Four 22.5-degree sections give 90 degrees in one continuous R430 curve.

Does 430 mm measure the straight distance across the curve?

It is the radius from the curve center to the track centerline.

Can I combine this with the 490 mm curve family?

Plot a transition before changing radius. Compare both shapes instead of treating their angles as interchangeable.
