Well, my interest is in late steam era big mainline steam engines (although i don't own any oldly enough due to my other facination with geared engines) and am currently replacing and installing much larger curves and switches to run the newer and larger engines. Right now my smallest curves are LGB 1600s and matching switches (about 8 foot diamiter) and i am now using #6 turnouts and 12 foot minimum diamiter curves in all the other areas as I build them. They look much better without such excessive overhang and I look forward to seeing more mainline, larger steam engines in the future! (Although at the same time, I do own an SD40-2 and plan to purchase another diesel because they run so well) So in this sense, I am not a modern mainline railroader, but i do understand and have the same problems.
