I'm trying to design a layout for a 14' wide room and I'd like to be able to
operate 85' passenger cars. I know from my HO experience that 85' cars will go
around a 30" radius curve. They don't look good doing it, but they'll go and
go reliably. When I look at the NMRA RP-11, you technically need 40" radius
curves in HO for 85' passenger cars.
So my question is this: Do I really need the RP-11 54" radius curves for
full-length S scale passenger cars? Or will a minimum radius of 42"
(corresponding to my 30" HO experience) radius work?
I'm trying to keep my minimum radius at 48" and go larger where I can, but with
only 14' room width, it's hard...
Thanks,
Rhett Graves
