Zenner kit 1 curved triangle track, scale 2 + G, 22.5 °, 90cm + screw connector

Industrial track as a kit for 1 curved triple track of scale 2 (64mm) Control track with R = 900mm and scale G (45mm), 22.5 °, brass profile consisting of:

A) 1 x 13 three-rail sleepers

B) 1 x curved track profiles, outside 64mm

C) 1 x curved track profiles, outside for scale G 45 mm

D) 1 x curved track profiles, inside for scale G 45mm

The track profiles are pushed into the sleepers and the tracks are connected via our Massot rail screw connectors

For a circle you need 16 tracks. The circumference is approx. 5.65 m in the middle of the track

Option: Trainline45 rail screw connector.

By turning the sleepers, one can produce both variants of the triple track (narrow track 45 mm inside or outside).

The track is slower than an industrial track. It was tested with wagons and locomotives, which have rigidly mounted axles without bogies and which are 300 mm long. Tests with 380 mm long cars will follow shortly.

This track radius is not yet available in the track II fan community. Basically there is no big problem with this narrow radius. But you should note the following:

- Short converted LGB locomotives, like the Köf often have no barriers. If there are more than three carriages, problems can arise, since the wheel rims of all the wagons and locomotives on the rails grind more than with larger radii. This can cause the wheels of the locomotive to spin. A higher locomotive weight has solved the problem.

- rigid buffer without suspension, e.g. With two locomotives. In this case, the buffer holders must be shortened approximately 1.5 mm after deduction of the buffers.

- The game between the wheel rim and the track profile is still 2 mm for a car with a length of 300 mm. In order to prevent the ascent of the wheels, such measures are possible but can not all be implemented in the short term:

A) Install the bogie for single-axle wagons, ie remove rigid bearings. A conversion is complex. Currently, such tools are not available
B) Lubricate the track slightly inside the side to reduce the friction. This causes miracles, but for other reasons it is not an optimal solution.
C) no too rough surfaces of the wheels, i. Polish the wheel rim. The customer would have to do it himself, since it is complex.
D) Option: Ball bearing wheel sets or twistable axle. We will soon offer this as an option. This is the best solution. Therefore, if you want to use the industrial track, you should change the wheel sets in the cars.
E) Option Wheel bearing- Ovalloch milled with 1mm clearance. This saves the bogie. Disadvantage: possible vibration, but this can be avoided with grease.
(F) Optional additional weight for the wagon installed under the chassis. Disadvantage. The locomotive has to pull more. There are also limits.

If the wheels of the trolleys are not rotatable or a) or c) are not possible, the tracks should only be used for shunting operations since the wear of the tracks can be higher than for larger radii. We do not know yet, however, and we will test the models in continuous operation on our test track with R = 900mm and share our experience with you. But whoever has no place has no choice.
