Actually - this is a great point - thank you. Not sure why I didn't think of this. Not the same as actually seeing the cars on the track, but certainly it would help me figure out what size curves I need. I have noticed that most shops do not stock anything bigger than 072, so it is not as easy as taking the cars to the shop and throwing together a few curves to see how they look in the curve. I luck out here a little because I do not want a typical smaller rectangular layout. I am looking at something that meanders somewhat. I have always preferred real wide curves regardless of the size of the cars or locomotives. I just want to make sure my passenger cars look great in the curves.
