Rail

Rail comes in 1 meter lengths (39 inches). Each piece of rail has two conducting sections separated by an insulating layer. Straight rail and various types of curved rail are available. Pieces of curved rail can be used individually, or combined to form circles of 2 ft, 4 ft. 6 ft. or 8 ft. diameter. Rail can be cut with a hacksaw to provide any desired length.

Straight Rail	"S" Curved Rail	90° Curved Rail 4 pieces form 4ft. diameter circle.	45° Curved Rail 8 pieces create 8ft. diameter circle.

Connectors

Connectors are used to join rail and are available in the following shapes in order to create a desired design:

• Straight - for joining two pieces of rail. (conductive and insulated)
• "L" for joining two pieces of rail at any angle for 20 degrees to 180 degrees.
• "T" for joining three pieces of rail, two in a straight line and the third at a variable angle.
• "X" for joining four pieces of rail.

Straight Connector	"L" Connector	Straight Insulating Connector

Note: All connectors are conductive except straight connectors. Straight insulating connectors (pictured above on the far right) are made of nonconducting plastic and insulate the pieces electrically, allowing for separate circuits and controls on a section of joined rail.
