<P>Of those of you who follow his guidelines, regarding 'Squares'...how well does his 28" dimension for conventional curves work for Mainline use?</P> <P>I am planning my layout and trying to figure out if I'll be able to use longer passenger cars on a conventional curve based on that 28" 'square' dimension......or do I need to stick with broad curves?</P> <P>Also....I plan on using code 100 flex track...(and this is a stupid question that shows my ignorance)...but how does one get a 28" curve or a 34" broad curve if they used sectional code 100 track? Aren't there only 18" and 22" curves that are most readily available in sectional??? I was wondering if he assumed that most people lay their own track or use flex.....and the 28"/34" curves were used in the book based on that.....</P> <P>Let the forehead slapping begin.</P> <P>Mike/Nightshade</P>
