Hi,
My questions are on the O Gauge and I’m going to use the 54in. diameter curved track, O-27.
I’m just starting out and I need some help. I want to put a shelf up on the walls going around a large room 45ft. by 20ft. and it will be about 8ft. up from the floor. I don’t have a sample of the track yet so I need the dimension of the width of the overall width of the track, not the width between the rails. Then how wide do I need to make the base for the track to lie on? I know diameter is used for the track but does the diameter come from the outside rail, the middle rail or the inside rail? If I had the track already I wouldn’t have to ask these questions.
Maybe there is a guide out that would help me with building this type of layout.
Any help would be great for ideas. Thanks
I’m building a new house in Mexico at this time and have always wanted to have a train going around the room. I had trains when I was a kid and loved them. I’m now retired and I guess I’m returning back into a kid again. haha
Thanks again for any help,
Mexico
