Re: Module Specs




I agree with Ricky.  For new transitions, use 120 Dia curves.  Place the curve at both ends on the module at the right locations and work toward the center.  The straight in the middle  is less than an inch  but needed.
The straight needs to be actually tangent to the curves.

That is what my dad used on the other 2 sets of transition track modules. We still have to convert Ed's bridge transitons though. Western Depot still has 120's left.

On a straight module? You should use >= O72 and cut them to make the transition as smooth as possible. Don't make any D<->E with O54. 
 
I have this modeled in RR-Track if you want it.
