John Johnson explained to me some easy math regarding our tight turns to run railroads in a relatively small space.
Reality a 16 degree minimum on the Union Pacific used on reversing Y's just for example. Slightly tight for mainline use is in o scale 2 rail an equivalent is 90" radius.
Some 3 rail figures compared to 2 rail.
O-108 Diameter
54" radius
O-72 Diameter (full circumference)
36" radius in 2 rail from center point to edge
O-120 minimum to run my new Key FT's are 60" radius.
I hope that makes sense and yes to most review.
