Well I'm not too concerned with looks. The 18" curves into staging will be hidden, though if I can make them a little tighter that might help my planning (Its a shelf layout above my desk in my not too large office). I just want to be sure that modern equipment (80' cars) will handle that without derailing. Where the looks matter, the radii will be larger... My vision is to enjoy some of the thunder of mainline railroading in a small space (less than 8 foot square room) by having a double track main that runs from staging into the scene at one end and then disappears back into staging halfway along. A shortline (former branch that was sold off) will interchange through a small yard and share some trackage rights before making its slow way to its primary industry at the other end. One day my railroad will have a web site on which I can share more.... Thanx. [8D]
