Help! Have a question for all. I'm building a model railroad from the book Small, Smart, and Practical Track Plans by Iain Rice, pub. by Kalmbach. The layout I'm working on is the Okehampton plan. Here's my questions: The plan says the ruling radius is 30", but does not say if all curves are 30", and does not specify the turnout sizes. Is there some easy way for me to figure this out? Second, I'm working on benchwork, and only want to put plywood under the track area on the rural part of the layout - I want to use foamboard elsewhere. Is there some easy trick anyone has for laying out track positions on the layout, incorporating transitions, etc, that will be easy to follow? Thanks for any help! I've finished the room, almost done with benchwork, so am anxious to fini***his part next.
