I thank you for your responses and I have a few more questions. When you suggest that the curves should measure at least 24" or when you state that you really think they should be at least 60", are you talking about having at least one curve that size or do you really mean ALL the curves?? I am not trying to rehash what you said, it is just that if you really mean that all the curves should be at least 24", then most of the track pices made by Atlas, Walthers, Peco and the other track manufacturers are useless because very few of their curves are actually 24" or greater in size. It also means that the two books I have from Atlas with suggested HO layouts unusable because all the layouts in those books make significant usage of curves much smaller than 24". It also means that the curves in my HO layout would actually be larger than the curves I used in my O guage layout. Is this really the case? Are you really saying that in a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood, if I use nothing smaller than a 24" curve and don't form S's because they are neither safe nor prototypical, I can get little more than a simple oval? Is this really true for HO?? Thanks for bearing with me and helping me out. <br /> <br />Mark
