Interesting thread. 0106 curves are great but eat up a lot of real estate. What will you be running that requires these huge curves?
How does a large radius curve eat up real estate? It's only 3 1/4" wide. With flex track you can have any radius curve that you want. I want to understand this comment.
Do you enjoy straights more? There's plenty of 10' straights on this layout.
Carl, no offense meant. 096 and 106" diameter is what 8-9' wide curves unless your running the track plan around the walls, big curves take up a lot of real estate or area in any given space right? If one has the room for big curves go for it, why not life is short, and scale 3 rail engines look better on bigger curves.
I have a track plan dilemma myself with rr track. In the near future I would honored if you would give your opinion on few plans I have.
