Sopranos Layout Curve Radius?
Posted by Nick12DMC on Saturday, August 12, 2006 9:36 AM

Hi,

   I enjoyed reading the article on the Sopranos Layout in CTT this month. I have managed to get some more space for our layout so we can build somthing bigger than our planned  5' X 9'. This means that we can fit in a layout of similar size to the Sopranos. Does anybody know what radius curves were used on the layout? As we were thinking of using that plan as a starting point.

Plan to use Fastrack and link the loops with switches if possible.

Regards

Nick

Nick, Try checking out the "Train Station" site. I've been on it before looking for rolling stock, etc. I don't know if they have any detailed info on the layout available or not.

Check this out, it's on their auction page.

Thanks for that Doug, I will try a email and see if they would let me know the radius they used.

I think I will invest in RR-Track software and see what I can come up with. My little boy would like a Hellgate bridge for Christmas so that plan seams a perfect use for it. We already have the little lift bridge and the 164 log loader so it seams a good way of using these items.

Regards

Nick
