In another thread, I had a response warn me to stick to <b>8' diameter</b> curves. I cringed, knowing there's a couple of spots where I want to put my layout that I can't get an <b>8' radius.</b> <br /> <br />After so long in another scale where we think in Radius, I keep running into a "Gotch Ya". I have to remember to mentally switch to think in diameter instead. <br /> <br />Any other "Gotch Ya's" to be cognizant of? <br /> <br />Oh in the original thought in the thread. I can fit a 10' diameter. And thats the tighest curve I have to make. I can also, just move away from that area of the yard, and not deal with it at all. If 8' diameter is absolute minimum, is there a recommended minimum? I know, wider the better, but in practical terms, whats guidline? Min. 9' dia, 10' dia?
