Piko flex track

[Graham]

I have started to assemble the piko flex track and am a but confused. I have the 1.5m sections and the sleeper sections are 320 and 280 and I can't work out how to get the sleeper's the correct combination for 1.5m

Two 320's and three 280's gives you 1480... that leaves a gap of 10mm at each end for the rail joiners.

or just cut them.

or just cut them.

That may be the answer as I bought equal numbers of each

My numbers were correct. I've just read the small print in the Piko Track Catalogue.

Yes

My numbers were correct. I've just read the small print in the Piko Track Catalogue.

quite correct except if I use the brass spacers between the sleeper sections there is not enough rail to get the standard joiners on both ends. As it only leaves about 15mm in total. I think I will just leave out one spacer

Once you go round a corner you will be cutting the inner rail anyway so none of it matters really.

True

Is that what they mean by cutting corners?
