Gerald's Parts and Pieces Thread

[Philippe Hurbain]

Why do some tracks have a cutout for the wheel, and some don't?

There are two different forms: flat tracks have a flat area on top of sleepers, while sloped tracks have a reinforcement at the base of rails and the sleepers are accordingly shorter. Top level of this reinforcement is a bit lower than top of sleepers, providing some clearance for 50254 wheels. While I don't have these wheels physically, ldraw model fits sloped tracks.
