Trixbrix R72 curves are one size bigger than R56. They can be laid in parallel to R56 maintaining a safe distance of 8 studs between the tracks. This way trains can safely pass and keeps your layout within absolute geometry making it easy and fun to build layouts.

- It was designed taking into account all of the LEGO® geometric requirements which makes this part fully compatible with original LEGO® tracks and bricks.
- **Injection molded part** - glossy finish, super high quality and durability.
- Smoother than standard curves, for faster speeds.
- To build a full circle you need 32 pieces.
- A circle has a diameter of 121,6 cm / 3.99 ft.
- Connects perfectly to Trixbrix and original tracks.
- Dark Bluish Gray color (same as orginal).

**Detailed explanation of R72 radius**

The R72 is the radius measured from the center of the circle to the centerline between the rails using the LEGO® stud as the unit. LEGO® stud is 8mm. The space needed to have the full R72 circle can be calculated as follows: (72 + 4) * 2 * 8mm = 1216mm = 1.21m. This measures the diameter (2 * radius) of the outer shape of the track - that's why we added 4 studs in the formula.

In general, the formula for calculating the outer diameter of the track circle is:

(R + 4) * 2 * 8mm
