Yes "he" did.  but I told him to get the cuves and space between sections of 
layouts he designed smaller  and the modelers would have smaller curves at 
their waist lines

  A major factor is whether we build our layouts for operations or for 
railfaning. 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.
