Reply to "On3 Minimum Radius"

Wow, Rockershovel did you make my day, month and year...oh yes. indeed!!!  Thank you for the information.
I recently obtained some On3 items including two DCC equipped  MMI K-27's, freight cars and stock cars.  I also have some passenger cars that are metal. After doing some research, I noticed that a 36 inch radius was recommended for On3.   I also realized that a 36 inch radius plan would just not fit in the space that I had available and I didn't want a duck under track plan.  Now, having some what of a "contrary disposition," I drew a plan using 30 inch radius curves with, transition curves, because that would fit in the space that I have.  Then I got to thinking that the 30 inch radius would be too tight for my equipment. Knowing that the 24 inch radius will work,  the 30 inch radius radius curves should be great using transitions.  I don't think the grandkids will notice the overhand, if you get my meaning.

Thanks again for the information.  It is extremely helpful and I do appreciate the time you took to respond.  I am new to this forum and it excellent.

Sincerely, james3751
