GREAT title! I'm already intrigued. Thanks man, I'll check availability--what could have possibly changed with the railroad since '98, anyway? :D

Yes, they make 1:32 scale as well.

Excellent!! Bring it on! :)

Yup...that's it, and thanks. So...just when I thought things were bad, they got worse (vendor-dependent radius designations). I was actually looking at the specs for an MTH locomotive. What's weird here is that, at least for 1 guage, R2 corresponds to a 22.5 deg sector, R3 to a 30 deg...

I'd like to learn some real basic stuff about how rail companies own, operate and/or share track. I assume this has a lot to do with mergers & acquisitions, government regulation and era. But for example, I'd like to know at least enough so I can at least ask intelligent questions. As it is, I...

Thanks Tyson. I didn't want to buy the track only to find out it's the wrong size. Doesn't really matter now, since I just discovered flex is available in stainless. Very nice site you folks have built here, by the way.

So my dream locomotive model is said to "run on R3 curves", which is a wonderful thing I suppose. Now, I know it takes 12 pieces of 30 deg track sectors to make a full circle, but none of this information tells me what the actual radius of the track sector IS...unless I know the length of the...

15' radius for 4-6-6-4 or 4-8-4 Gauge One? I'm interested in garden rail, but the portion of my back yard that I can use is about 70' wide by 30' deep, and that's fence-to-fence (wide) and fence-to-patio (deep). I'm concerned that only having a max. 15' radius turn is going to look pretty...
