Hello again, everyone. I'm just building a small switching layout , about 2' X 10', so I can go slow and learn everything. My small, 4 axle diesel switcher will be moving slowly......pushing and pulling a car, or two, or three around the layout. So, #4 Customline switches (I have some #6 Customline switches, too), and 18" curves in a yard. For the very least of problems, do I keep my box cars and gondolas and stuff at a 40' maximum? 50 maximum? Longer? No maximum? How about those 15" curves, they are really tight. And I guess that the smaller the car, the better looking it will be. Or maybe that is a subjective thing. I read and learn much from you guys. I get more and more hooked on this hobby as each week goes by. Thanks Ray
