Does anyone know if Atlas 21st Century Line actually makes the 27" radius curves, as pic'd on their website and in system illustrations?  I'd like to try this for my O-27 (ish) micro layout projects, along with Atlas turnouts and other components.  I'd be an interesting comparison to the other conventional Lionel tubular O-27 project in the works.  I know I can't interchange the track, but use them on separately.  I've search the 'net dealers and no one seems to have the 27, especially considering Atlas's supply problems of recent years.

Do you mean 027[ diameter-yes they do] or 27" radius?

ITs just the curves for 027 diameter. The smallest switch in their track line is still 036.

Keep in mind O27 diameter tubular track is measured from the outside edge of a tie to the outside edge of the opposite tie. Atlas-O 21C curves are measured center rail to opposite center rail. This means Atlas-O O27 curves are actually O28-1/4 using the old measuring method.

 

Which is why a fair amount of equipment that says "Minimum O31 curves" will go around Atlas-O O27 curves just fine, but not tubular O27 curves.
