UP SD40-2's NEW Layout
#28
Deano:
My target radius is 30", but I have templates for 24, 36 and 60 as well. (plus a few for the radii around 30). I had a weird problem when I was trying to lay track around my loops, which I had cut and painted for the 30" radius and it didn't seem to want to fit. I'd almost done the whole thing before I realized I was trying to use the 36" template.

I have two 6' wide corners (wall to door opening) so the 30" radius fits with a bit to spare.

I have a long bridge - 4 1/2 feet - that my wife likes to see in the layout. On a previous layout there was a dimension of 10', so bridge plus 30" radius left nothing for anything else along that side.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.
