[quote user="jjdamnit"]That's what the OP was seeking advice on; a specific situation with a specific set of constraints to achieve a specific outcome.[/quote] And the constraints that you have will not work for his desired outcome:  "3-5 car passenger trains" (and freight).   Granted 22" radius is pushing it as it is (Walthers heavyweights need >24" or greater to operate (without extreme modification).  Rapido Osgood Bradley cars are reliable on 24" radius.  I have not tried them on 22".  If the OP can find Athearn BB cars they will likely work for 22".   As an aside and somewhat unrelated: if you put more prototypical couplers on the cars, such that the diaphragms contact slightly, you need >34" radius (as I found out to my dismay, I will be installing some slightly extended shanks and retesting (have a couple of options).   [quote user="jjdamnit"]Again, see my signature.[/quote] I saw it, so did everyone else.  And the point I am trying to make is that the trackplan would likely (I didnt say it was impossible) not work with other equipment.   Just out of curiosity, are you using standard Kadee trucks and couplers or Kadee talgo trucks?
