<*>[Attachment(s) from scale S only included below] Hi Bob and all --
Yes, large curves do reduce your options a bit, but watching realistic models traversing curves that are ALMOST prototypical is a treat. I had sharper curves on the old layout forced by space constraints, but they were as large as the space between the opposing walls would allow (11 feet) and pretty much the same thing for the new (20 feet, but there is also an aisle down one side, so the space is 17 feet). Pix of the old layout and new illustrate... Both layouts use essentially the same design -- a double track folded 8. Have fun! Bill Winans ------------------------------------ George, you're right. If your radii is put at the top of the priority list, it won't take long for even a fair sized room to become just an oval of track without a lot of operational possibilities. That's the problem the 0 guys normally have! Bob Werre PhotoTraxx ------------------------------- I wish I had larger radius for looks. But the trackplan, not coupler swing or lack thereof determined my radius. I wanted to accomplish certain operational moves on the layout and this led me to the radius I adopted.
