<P>FWIW anything under 30" would look ugly. But that is my not so humble opinion. Plenty of people will disagree.</P> <P>Have a look in the November MR for some photos that illustrate that bigger is always better when we are talking about curve radius. I can't say off hand which page because the mag is at home and I am not. You'll find it I am sure. Towards the back as I recall. Actually the photos are passenger cars, but same deal.</P> <P>Many manufacturers claim that their big engines will go around an incredibly small radius. Well they will, but they look terrible in my view because they over hang so grossly and the gap between loco and tender would be a gross safety hazard.[2c]</P> <P>But then it's your railroad empire. Do what you have to in the space that you must work with.[:P]</P> <P>EDIT NEXT DAY. The article starts on page 54. Photos on Page 55.</P>
