question about designing layouts in HO

Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, September 3, 2003 5:19 PM

I have some experience with O scale and I am currently beginning to work with HO. The advice I have been given thus far strongly suggests making the curves as large as possible, preferably 22's or 24's. Doing so results in very large curves that are actually as large as or larger than what I used in O gauge. Is it really necessary to use such large curves in HO?? I realize that the train will run more smoothly with a larger curve, but will it really run that poorly if I use an 18 curve ?? Thanks for your help.
