Do you have room for the extra half inch on the outside of each end if the curve.  That way you can keep your curve at 30" radius and then ease out a half inch on each end of the curve.

 

Wish I could say yes...  The actual peninsula is 60-inches wide and my actual planned radius is 27 inches, providing a minimum of 3-inch buffer to the layout edge.  I'm just trying to understand the geometry.

Question on easements
Posted by IDRick on Monday, February 18, 2019 8:19 PM

I have never used easements on a layout.  Let's assume I have a peninsula and want to add a half circle of track (30-inch radius).  The appropriate easement is 1/2 inch per side.  Does this mean the net radium of the half circle is now reduced to 29"?
