1st Radius and Track Availability

[Clement Matchett]

This afternoon I set up a siding on my layout which included a 90 degree first radius curve. I formed this from Peco Flextrack and used the green plastic TT 120 templates advertised on eBay to check the curvature.

Flying Scotsman negotiated the curve easily enough running light, though I think I could hear some scraping from the Pullmans.

But I was encouraged enough to order 12 1st Radius curves from the Hornby set track, and I had no problem checking out.

When my order of 6 vans is fulfilled, I will know whether I have wasted £25!
