Wow, thanks for the quick replies, Gentlemen!
Andrew, I am also considering changing the benchwork from a perfect half-circle to something different which would not follow the curve of the track. Do you have any suggestions?
TN, thank you for the vote.
Russ, thank you for your detailed commentary. I always appreciate the thoughtfulness and depth of your replies, and I do want you to know that you have helped me tremendously with my new layout. You always make me think, and even if i don't follow your thoughts exactly, rest assured that you did play a role in getting my brain going.
Where do I find the MRH e-mag? I'll google to see if I can find it. I've never considered relating car length to radius, but it sounds like an obvious connection now that you mention it.
biL, I agree that breaking up the 180 degree curve into 2 curves makes sense. Any suggestions or rough drawings?
It seems that the 65" width should give me plenty of options.
