In general, the broader you can lay out your curved track, the better. 1"scale diesels and
40' freight cars will easily negotiate a 15' radius turn, whereas some streamlined passenger cars
and larger steam locomotives (such as 4-6-2s or 4-8-4s) with their longer wheelbase may require
as much as 30' or 40' radius curves. Despite the large size of these models, you do not require an estate to have a home track. A standard suburban lot is plenty big enough for a track that circles the house. |
