Re: New Braunfels Layout Minimum Radius

["Bill Lohman" <844bill@gmail.com>]

Scott, I figured you were away for the Mem Day Holiday.  That's good news that using the new corners on the L we can have the best opportunity to run big trains which look better for sure on 072 even if they might make it though 054.  I'll bring my California Zephyr and hope to have my Daylight consist ready also - both with 21 inch cars.  Thanks for the good news.  Rgds, Bill L

Hi Scott or Ira or anyone as appropriate.  Would appreciate confirmation of what the minimum radius at New Braunfels will be on the track with the widest radius.  The equipment I planned to bring will need at least 072 diameter curves with no serious S curves to look right and possibly to even run right.   I heard that the minimum diameter for the widest track might be 054 due to the L shaped layout.  Please confirm so I can figure out what to do.  Thanks, Bill Lohman
