But since he never mentioned anything about any locomotives or rolling stock with his question in this thread, how are we to know ??? If the size of his existing equipment is going to impact the geometry of his tracks, he should have included that information. We can only work with the information provided — we're not mind-readers. Same way I knew.. He's made 15 posts total to date.. Not that difficult to look at them and see what else he's asked.

QUOTE: QUOTE: [#oops] Correction : I miscalculated the radius for a 90 degree curve using a single piece of 36" long flextrack. The correct radius would be 22.91" (not 19.09"). That is a more workable radius, depending on what you plan to run. With Easments??

QUOTE: Originally posted by rolleiman In his other threads where he is asking about the trains themselves.. You know you Can click on the users name and see what else he/she has posted. It isn't that difficult.
QUOTE: (...) I did not say it was unusable, just tight for some of the trains he had asked about.
QUOTE: Read his other threads and you'll discover that he wants to build a loop around his 3 year old son's room. A case which affords the oppertunity to set up wider radii.
QUOTE: Originally posted by rolleiman That's going to lead to some pretty tight curves, to the tune of 18" radius.. Not the best situation since one of the locos he asked about was a 4-8-4... Once you have Northerns on the brain, it's a tough thought to shake.
