[quote user="ttrigg"]SRS: <p>I notice in the track plan you have a notation "4' curves on all corners." Hopefully that means 4' RADIUS (in LS that would be 8' Dia) From what I see, )assuming that your drawing is to scale, looks like each square represents 2 feet?) I'm going to echo TJ "<font color="#3366ff"><em>increase the curve radii. Other than that I think you have a great start for a garden railroad.</em></font>" From what I see I would stretch the curves out to a full 10 ft diameter, (5' radii) or larger.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>The scale is 1 square = 1 foot. The four outside corners use three sections of 4' curved track. (If you put 12 of these sections together you'd have a four foot circle.) I think this will work OK but of course not sure until lay the track.</p><p>I only have 14' of width to work with so the two freight line curves you see near the bottom of the drawing are 4' and 6' curves. </p><p>Don't have all the track yet so can't lay it out to see if it will fit or not. Track is on order but not yet received. Hopefully this week..........</p><p>Thanks for your comments and if you think of anything else I should know don't hesitate to say so.</p>
