15" radius vs 18" radius
This afternoon I was working on the track that would be entering the 'saw mill / gallows turntable' area of my logging scene from one of the mainlines. It appears as though I need 2 sections of 15" radius track about 18-20 inches long each, to fit things in the way I am hoping.
I believe I recall that most of the 'plastic loggers' will just barely negotiate the 15" curves (the brass ones maybe not)? I think even the articulated Mantua 2-6-6-0 will fit??
I would drag out some track and the locos and do some testing, BUT I only have a single 9" long piece of 15" r track.
This is where I was looking to utilize those 15" r track segments,...to service that gallows turntable,...
