<p> Yesterday I asked the same questions and let me summarize the answers I got:</p><p> </p><p>2" is ok on straight tracks, but to narrow in curves, if you run those 80´ passenger cars.</p><p>2 1/4" is ok in curves with a min. radius of 30" and above</p><p>2 3/8" for a radius of 24"</p><p> 2 1/2" for a radius of 22"</p><p>2 5/8" for a radius of 20"</p><p>2 3/4" dor a rdius of 18" </p><p>The best is to build a test track and find out, it ´d be a pity to lay the track and ballast it only to find out that two trains cannot pass ech other in curve!</p><p> <br></p><br>
