The range of track produced by Bowman for their live steam models was fairly limited, comprising curved track in both 2 and 4 ft. radius, together with straight track and points (turnouts, switches). Straight track was available banked or unbanked, but only in lengths of 24 inches. The 2 ft radius curved track was 6 to a circle whereas 4 ft radius was 12 to a circle. Bowman track is often found cut, particularly straights to form 12 inch lengths and the smaller curves to create 1/2 curves, such that a 90 degree turn may be created.
