Reply to "060 vs 072; regret the reach for scenery or regret not going 072, First Layout"

So are you trying to stick with the general track pattern shown in the plan?

If so, I have to assume we are only talking about the large oval in the top section as being either O60 or O72, correct?.  The curves making up the lower sections can't possibly be since O60 is 5 feet diameter and O72 is 6 feet (and the largest dimension of the table is only 11 feet), so there is no way those curves can be making up the lower paths that come back up to the 90 degree crossings.

If so, that might be fine, as long as you don't ever accidentally take large engines through the switches towards the smaller diameter curves.

You mention the kids and being excited about scenery.  So does the larger curve ability mean more here, or the ability to maybe have more room for scenery/building creativity?  Most of us here agree to go with O72, but that's pretty much from a hardware capability point of view most of us have lived through.  If you won't care about the large engines, maybe you should stay smaller to have more working space for the creative scenery and structure designs?
