1. I need some advice on minimum radii for steam locomotives. I would like to run some small- to mid-sized steamers. The largest steamers I was planning to run would be 4-8-2s or maybe a few 4-8-4s. Please keep in mind that I don't necessarily want to run them at max speeed either. Actually, the steeper grades I'm planning on would limit most operations to slow to medium speeds. I have heard a varity of opinions from quite small to quite large. 2. Does anyone know of any good trackplans for a 20x20 room or similar? Most of the plans I have seen are either for rectangular rooms, far too large, or far too small. I am preferably looking for point to point layouts (like branch lines), or ones that work somwhat like point-to-point layouts (i.e. passes or helper districts with hidden returns). Even so, any plans you could direct me to would be appreciated. I greatly appreciate your help, Daniel
