Thanks for all the answers about the turnouts and couplers. Now I know S scale
is something I can do. But now comes the real issue: determining how much
layout will fit into my available space.
I love trackplanning; it's one of my favorite aspects of the hobby. John
Armstrong's "squares" method is a great starting point, but before I can define
a square, I need to know:
(1) What do people typically use as a minimum mainline radius on a small
layout? I'm thinking 4-axle diesels; for freight cars, nothing bigger than a
grain hopper; no passenger equipment except maybe an RDC.
(2) What is the minumum radius for the SHS 2-8-0?
(3) Is there a trackplanning software package with S scale track templates
included?
(4) What is the length, in inches, of a #4 turnout made by [fill in your
preferred brand of turnout here]?
Thanks again!
