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

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.

www.train-station.com

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

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
