About time for another poll. What's the smallest radius curve on your layout? Hidden or visible, doesn't matter. To make this scale-transparent, the answers are in 1:1 scale, you'll have to do some math. Pick the choice closest to what you use.

The smallest I use is 12" radius on the nTrak Mountain Division, otherwise I use 18" minumum on the oNetrak modules and that will be the minumum on my next layout.:D
Also, I do have a small 2ft x 4ft operating display layout featuring a winter scene which uses 9 3/4 in radius (My Christmas Layout). :)
Happy Modeling.
Cheers.

curve poll

I've got a 11 1/2 radius on my HO layout. Of course I need to tell you that it is for a shay and short logging cars. Since all I use is flex track, I make whatever radius that is dictated by size. Most of mine is 22-25" radius.
