Thanks Dick, and everyone else who has replied to my post. As for the easements, how should the varying degrees progress... starting with what and indreasing (safely) by how many degrees at each increase until the desired radius is reached?

I have operated them on curves as tight as 33" with no problems, and I think they would work on even tighter curves. HOWEVER, in order to do this, you MUST utilize spiral easements between your tangents and your fixed-radius curves. Otherwise the rear of the first car will pull the front of the second car off the track as the first car enters the curve. Dick Karnes [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
