11 deg radius

does anyone know if kato makes a curved track at 11 degress radius?

They are two different characteristics of an arc.  One is the number of degrees subtended by the radii at each extreme of the arc section of track, while the radius is the distance from the centreline of the two rails to the point at which all radii intersect.   So, no matter what the radius of the curve (longer generally being better...to a point), the degrees of curvature of the section are going to tell you how long a rolling item must travel along that curve from one end to the other for a given radius.  Length, in other words.

In what scale, Nj or HOj?

No. No one makes a curve that has a radius of 225.7" in HO or 122.7" radius in N scale.

Huh???

Something appears to be horribly wrong with my calculator which returns a radius of 521 feet for an 11º curve!; this scales out to a hair larger than 39" in N-Scale and a hair less than 72" in Horribly Oversized-Scale!

it is in N scale

do you mean 11 inch radius? as in a complete circle would be about 22-23 inces wide? if so then I think they do: http://www.katousa.com/N/Unitrack/g-single.html
