Hello All, I live in Phoenix AZ where the climate is mild in the winter and HOT in the summer and am considering going to G scale. I currently have a 5x12 HO layout in the garage but would like to landscape the backyard with a RR. I have some thoughts on where I would like the track to go but haven't started the track planning yet. The area I would like to cover is an 'L' shape. The leg of the L is in grass with an in-ground spa and waterfall. This area is 30' by 55' wide. The vertical part of the L, at the end where the grass is, is 32' (for a total width of 87' across the back of the lot) this area tapers to 21' along the house up to the garage. The vertical part of the L is about 80' or so long. The 32'-21' by 80' is not landscaped yet - still in dirt. I would like to put a waterfall, pond and a walk-over bridge in this area as well as a place to sit and enjoy the backyard. My questions, before I start the track planning, are: 1. Like HO, is there a recommended minimum curve radius? 2. Are switches (turnouts) numbered like HO - #4, #6, #8 etc.? Thanks for any help,
