[quote]QUOTE: Ideally, for a display you want it to look real, eh? 48" is fair, but they really flow around 72" radius on my 1947 version of the Great Northern Empire Builder. I run 2 - 70' head end cars, and 12 -85 footers pulled by a pair of E-7's and I have a 45 degree, 72" radius curve that is generously eased on both ends(o=3/4", L/2 =12"). Enjoy, that is the main thing![/quote] OK It looks like we fouond the resident construction engineer in the house. [8D][8D][8D] 45 Degree curves. I barely understand the concept. 72" Radius? His layout must be in Boeing's 747 Main Assembly Building. Easements none the less? He has more patients for tempting the invocation of Murphey's Law than I. [8D][8D][8D] With any luck, he can take a good teasing. [:D]
