My 072/064 will be getting replaced by 096/088 and 084/076 Ross Sectional Curves.....but that's all I have room for.

 

 

 

In the immediate term, money & time, but my future layout is bounded by the concrete walls of the house on 3 sides, so space is somewhat of a concern.  O-72 would be...ambitious, but I may be able to work O-63 for the main line. 

 

The problem is that we'll need to have at least part of the room for useable space outside of the layout.

 

On second thought, a larger radius curve may be necessary to reduce the grade up to the overpass on the main line....
