For my outdoor railway I am getting an Aristo-Craft CSX SD-45 locomotive. It needs 8 foot diameter curves. What is the degree of curve for that?
OK, it means just that. If you put a peg into the ground and tie a 4' string to it, and trace out the circle the end of the string makes around the peg, that's an 8' diameter. Now if you were working in HO or N scale, you could just go out and buy flextrack and form it to fit the curve. In G scale, I don't know if there is flextrack, if not, you should be able to buy curved sections that would conform to a 4' radius. Someone into G scale would have to tell you how they are marked. That's the best I can do.CSX said:Here, maybe this will help a bit. What does it mean when it says the train needs 8 foot diameter curves? I don't want to buy the wrong track for my outdoor railway.
