There is a chart on the [url="http://www.nmra.org/"]<u>N.M.R.A.</u>[/url] web site under [url="http://www.nmra.org/standards/rp-11.html"]<u>RP-11</u>[/url]. A 20" radius in HO scale is 146' for the prototype. <br /> However, railroads generally don't measure curved track by radius, but rather in degrees.
