What do I need to create a figure 8 with Gscale indoor track?

That depends on the size of figure eight you want to build and
the curvature of your tracks. You'll need a crossing, of course,
but even that depends on size and curvature. So ... tell us more
about your plans.

Dear maxweiss,

According to 2010 Bachmann catalog,

1 ea. 94538 90 degree crossing (which includes 4 half-straights)

4 ea. 94511 (4pk) or 94611 (bulk) straights

18 ea. 94501 (4pk) or 94601 (bulk) curves

According to AnyRail.com:

This builds a 90 degree by R1 (radius = 23.62" or 600mm) level Figure 8. 

Space needed (including overhang clearance): 121" x 55" (= 10 ft - 1" x 4 ft - 7")

I have some extra curves, if needed.  Click on my name to send a PM.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik
