Example: 2200 = 180mm straight (1/1) 2201 = 90 mm straight (1/2) 2202 = 45 mm straight (1/4) 2203 = 30 mm straight (1/6) 2204 = 22.5mm straight (1/8) 2205 = 900 mm flex track 2206 = 168.9 mm straight (related to turnout 2262/63) 2207 = 156 mm straight (related to turnout 2262/63) 2208 = 35.1 mm straight 2293 = 41.3 mm straight 2209 = 217.9 mm straight (related to turnout 22715/716) 2231 = R2 curve 1/1 2232 = R2 curve 3/4 2233 = R2 curve 1/2 2234 = R2 curve 1/4 2235 = R2 curve 1/8 see attached pdf for geometry kgleis_20050512.pdf (1,015kb) downloaded 38 time(s).

Yes a catalogue is always not far but simpler is always better, too bad I like K-track better than C-track. Hope you all had a merry Christmas.
