Curved Track 15° Memory Solution 35217 Piko compatible

Memory Solution Curved Track 15° model 35217 is a curved section designed for model railway layouts compatible with Piko track geometry. This HO-scale compatible curve provides a standardized 15° arc to form continuous bends when assembling multiple sections, enabling controlled curvature and consistent track gauge for locomotives and rolling stock. It is intended for hobbyists and layout builders who require repeatable, modular track elements for creating curves, reversing loops, and scenic railway sections.

Advantages

The curved track section offers consistent geometry that simplifies planning and construction of curved track runs. Compatibility with Piko-style track ensures reliable electrical and mechanical connections with many HO and compatible components. As a single-piece section manufactured to hobby standards, it supports straightforward layout expansion and modular rearrangement without the need for custom bending or cutting.

Suitable for

• Building HO-scale curved track runs and yards
• Expanding or modifying existing Piko-compatible layouts
• Creating reverse loops, scenic curves, and station approaches
• Modular layouts and temporary exhibition setups

Key specifications

• Curve angle: 15° per section
• Scale compatibility: HO-scale and Piko-compatible systems
• Construction: rigid curved rail section with standardized rail geometry
• Connection: compatible mechanical and electrical joiners for similar-profile track

How to use

Install the curved section by aligning rail joiners with adjacent track pieces and ensuring firm mechanical connection at both rail and sleeper interfaces. Combine multiple 15° sections to achieve the desired total curvature; for example, six sections produce a 90° turn. Verify track alignment with a gauge tool and ensure smooth rail join surfaces for uninterrupted electrical contact. Fasten the track to the baseboard using appropriate track nails or adhesive suitable for model railway construction.

Usage recommendations

Before final fixing, lay out all curve sections on the layout to confirm clearances, turnout placement, and scenic elements. Check wheel and flange clearance of locomotives and rolling stock on the assembled curve at low speed to identify any tight spots. Use rail joiners compatible with Piko-style profiles and ensure clean metal contact for reliable power pickup.
