Calculating curves?

The way I understood it was it told you how many you need to make a circle. <br />A complete circle is 360 degrees. <br />If you get a 90 degree curve (you won't find one in G scale), you have a curve that goes quater of a circle. So you need 4 to make a complete circle. <br /> <br />So for your 17degree curve you will need (360 / 17 = 21.1 ) 21 and a bit pieces to make a full circle. <br />What it doesn't tell you is what radius the curve is, so you still don't know if you're getting a 4ft diameter or a 20ft diameter curve. <br /> <br />Glen Anthony.
