[quote user="hellwarrior"]I will use a N scale and I don't know if 22 inches wide will be enought for my train to go to point A to point B and come back without going reverse.[/quote] I understand that as you want to build some kind of a loop, so you can have your trains circle it instead of reversing at each end. Well, yes  22" width is sufficient for such type of a layout. The minimum radius (and please understand that as the limit as far "down" you can go) is 9.75" for N scale. That´s not much and if you go down that route, forget about running a Big Boy and 80 ft. cars over your layout. Better to settle with 4-axle Diesels and 40 footers.
