Mixing raidiai

[jward]

uncbob,
easements ease the transition of the cars into the curve. it is especially helpful if you are running longer cars with body mounted couplers. or mixing short and long cars with body mounts. without easements, the longer cars couplers tend to swing out abruptly as they enter the curve an can pull shorter cars off the track.

i had the inner 18"rad and outter 22" 4x8 layout with ez track. used a layout from thortrains and had more problems than i could deal with to much going on in such a small area . and to many short sectional pieces. to make up the turouts and spurs . i enlarged to a 5x9 ft and went with the 22" rad and an upper deck i guess you call it .of an 18" rad oval . and took the advice about the s curves i had involved, and made the adjustments . and thanks jward for your help
