From: Alan Lambert Fort Worth, Texas George, I have S-Helper 30" 30 degree radius sectional track for my outside loop and my American Models heavywieghts still have a little overhange. Anything above that would look more prototypical if you have room which I don't have. Inside loop could be hidden by cars on the outer loop.I don't run mine on anything less than stated above.

However, John Armstrong suggested that we could get away with tigher curves if they were viewed from the inside of the curve. Curves viewed from the outside of the curve are worst offenders.
