<p>Right now my Nscale layout design has three loops. An outside, highspeed loop 22" radius with minimal turnouts. An 20" innerloop with more turnouts and sidings. And an inner figure 8 with 12" radius and steep grades. I plan to run ALL N guage equipment I can, realizing I will be limited on the inner figure 8. I am modeling 1950's Denver on the outer runs (both steam and diesel) and a tourist train and old time stuff on the figure 8 (which goes up to the mountains). </p><p>Perhaps #8's on the outer and intermediate loop and #5's or #4's? on the inner figure 8???</p><p>Are the meaning of the numbers the same for HO?</p>
