Is the trend for new engines that need ever wider diameters a good idea?

<p>[quote user="Eric Cooper"]Vic, I'm with you on this issue. I'm really limited in my layout since the area is surrounded by concrete. I dumped my R1 stuff and went to 5' dia, but I'm not sure I can fit 6.5 dia in my area. My dilemma is that there is a long box sitting under the tree that, I think, contains either a B'mann Annie or a Connie. If the former, I'm OK. If the latter, I've got a problem. By the way guys, being relatively new here, I only know what R1 is. What are the diameters for R2 and up?[/quote]</p><p>Hello Eric,</p><p>LGB: R1 = 600mm; R2 = 765mm; R3 = 1175mm; R5 = 2320mm</p><p>LGB turnouts are available in R1, R3 and R5</p><p>"R" stands for radius. Other manufacturers designate their curves by using the center to center diameter. </p><p> </p><p>Hope that helps</p><p> </p><p>ER </p><p> </p><p> </p>
