Hi Don, The Harlem Transfer terminal in New York used 90 foot radius on
their freight house loop which would be slightly less than 17 inch radius in S
scale. Your 20 inch curves would be about right for the Harlem second track
loop which was 106 feet radius. :>)
So if anyone wants to build a truly prototypical S scale layout in a small
space there's a prototype waiting to be modeled. A perfect scene for coal
hoppers, reefers, boxcars,flats, gondolas, etc. and only one 44 tonner needed
for motive power. ....dave
