I don't have a clue what the layout looks like. I don't subscribe to MR, and the link is to a log in page. You need to be a subscriber to log in to view it. Tunnel motors will go around an 18 inch radius, but whether it will pull or push a car around it or just derail the car due to limited coupler swing is something that would need to be tested.

Shoot, I know it will "negotiate" the curves, but Ill be damed, it wonnt hold the cars coupled on a 24" radius.

I cant get the trackplan to view any larger, due to something not working on my computer. Can anybody email or pm me a larger print? Or just post it up?

Guys, I have a trackplan. Goldth Im looking at it and I can make it work, there is only really one area that is 18", and I can strech that wider.
