Just joined the group. Been away from HO model railroading for about 25 years. I'm going to put together another layout. It's going to have to be limited to 3-1/2 X 7 feet in size. I'm planing to do  '20's and '30's rolling stock so my largest locomotive will only have 6 driving wheels. Will I run in to problems using 15" radius curves?

Thanks for any opinions. Jim B.

I'm laying out a TOMA entry, and I am actually designing something for my own future layout, so there are some extra considerations.  For the entry, there are 6 turnouts in the main part.  I want them to be DCC controlled.

Now it's time to install the bridge.

Here is my Exactrail 50' girder bridge weathered lightly with AIM Products powders finally glued in place.  I also added more weathering to the abutments.

Now that Elsmere Junction is pretty well in, time to move on to Wilmington Yard.  The yard is recycled from my previous layout.  It has a main, runner, 5 yard tracks, a caboose track, scale track and lead.  There were a few industry tracks on the back side of the yard, across the main.  Originally only #1 track was double ended, that has been expanded in the new design to 2 double ended and 3 stub class tracks.  All tracks are class tracks, I don't have designated A&D tracks, but normally the yardmasters use the runner, #1 and now #2.
