Referring to the MMI, On3, K-Series engines, I wanted to know if the wheel base spacing is all the same on each of the engines? The reason being is that I am going to set up a series of different curves of different radius. I will then use easement/transition curves from the tangent to each different radius. Maybe, I'll find a suitable smaller radius than the recommended 36 inch minimum . I have the MMI K-27, On3 and if the wheel base spacing on the other K-series engines is the same then a smaller radius would also work for them.
Now, as I write this I came to this brilliant epiphany...what's the point. So Jim, you do a transition curve into a 35 inch radius turn and it works. Hello, the lights are on, but nobody's home. Honestly, sometime I wonder if my alter ego isn't the Scarecrow on the Wizard of Oz. Out of sheer stubbornness, without regard to logic, I'll try a significant radius reduction just to see what happens, say a 30 or 32 inch, just for the heck of it. Yes, even though, through some quirk of luck, the engines run through it these curves, the over hang of the consists would undesireable.
Anyway thank you for indulging me. It's enjoyable to have a place to comment with other modelers. This forum has been helpful to me and I do appreciate it.
