Those photos are perfect for my purposes! Thanks for taking all of the time to plan and stage them. I feel a lot more comfortable now with the choice of radius, and with a less expansive distance from the edge of the table. The 42" shots will give me even more flexibility for the interior of the layout.
Years ago, I had a large indoor LGB layout with all European LGB trains. Over a two year period, I had never had a single derailment running my LGB trains. One day, I was a bit inattentive as I fiddled with something in an adjacent room. Naturally, my largest loco derailed at that moment and crashed to the floor, with some damage to the front of the loco.
So, I've been a little hesitant since then to "live on the edge".
Again, many thanks for your very detailed and helpful pictures.
