I'm glad that people are responding. Unfortunately, I have to recharge the batteries in my digital camera, and so I can't post pics today. The curves are all 18 inch radius so far, but that doesn't seem to be a problem, as most of my rolling stock is very small. The only problems are the passenger cars of course, but I have seen some smaller ones which I will buy soon. The track plan is not to scale, as I just did it in MS Paint.[:D] So far, the locos on the layout are: 0-4-0 (unknown brand, I got it 2nd-hand) 0-6-0 (Bachmann, it's the newest addition to my layout, runs incredibly well.) 2-8-0 (Tyco, it runs badly and I bought it for a really low price a while back) 4-6-2 (Rivarossi) ...and three diesels. I'm not sure what classification of diesel they are, but one is by Mantua, one by Model Power and one by an unknown brand. The layout is freelanced, and is set during the steam-diesel transition. It's not 4 by 8ft, it's more like 4.5 by 10ft. PS. I just finished weathering my first freight car, and I'm delighted with the results!
