What does the # mean

 :)What Does the #'s under the track mean? Like 92124A2-1

Hi, Engandy.

I'm guessing you're looking at an HO scale or N scale piece of E-Z Track.

It's possibly a die number (not referenced in the consumer catalog) for molding the E-Z Track plastic track bed.

Tell us more about the track.

HO or N ?

Is the track bed black or gray ?

Straight or curved?

If straight, how long ?

How many ties ?

If curved, do you have enough of them to form a complete circle?

How many to form a complete circle ?

How big is the circle ? Measure outside edge of track bed to inside edge of track bed on opposite side of circle.

Thanks.

Edit: Changed 'roadbed' to 'track bed'.

I have HO E-Z track 10 have 18R-30degree and 26 HO Curve If when I put the together
I have 3 circle using 12 to make the 3 circles.

Could be wrong, of course, but believe those numbers are manufacturing lot numbers, like where and when kinda stuff.  I have several pieces of 18"R N/S EZ Track but they have a different series of numbers, similar to the ones you are referring to, but the numbers are not identical.

In N scale, the number you posted would be the part number.
Other numbers include the degrees curvature, the radius, and the patent number(s).
I don't see any date code or machine number, but I have very little EZ track to look at.
The example I gave was for a 19r 15° NS N Scale curve which has 3 patent numbers.

Not sure how safe it is to assume that HO track would be the same.
YMMV
