Hi Butch, My last O scale layout had 42 inch min curves so visualizing S
scale on them seems quite good to me. The other way to look at it is 42 inches
in S scale would be equivalent to 56 inches in O scale or 31 inches in HO so
that sounds pretty broad?
The other possibility would be to design the around the wall layout to go
across the room entrance with a removable door section then you could get about
60 inch radius minimum? I did my last O layout this way and just left the
removable section out when not running trains and it worked great.
Either way I think you'll have a great time figuring it out and building it
and there are plenty of nice S locos that would look great on 42 inch radius.
