Hi Capt Carrales <br />in answer to you 1st question my standard answer is the largest radius the area will allow that way the maximum avalable options on locomotives and rolling stock <br />is avalable. <br />From my perspective a six foot six inch curve would be heaven sentand I would say if you can have larger without compromisng your overall plan do so. <br />as to your swiches after my expierience with arestocraft swiches like vsmith I say no to Aristocraft like him I have had problems with the R1 with stalling fouling and derailing <br />but after that expierience I will nouch any of that brand of switch. <br />I have LGB R1swiches which work well but if you can avoid them for the same reason as going for the largest radius curve you can fit in I have one LGB r3 switch and have not <br />had any problems with it, <br />But I have heard some have had problems with LGB r3 swirches but have heard nothing specific as to what the problem was. <br />regards John <br />
