Thank you. Great demonstration.

G'day Roy, Looks like you will come up with an interesting layout. Thanks for listing my channel on Heath's (Human city) livestream yesterday. Cheers Ken 👍

This video is super helpful, especially for someone new to N scale like myself. Just started a 58" x 22.5" layout in a coffee table after seeing this video last week. I was worried R218 and R249 were going to be too tight but now I'm off to the races, thanks!

Hello Roy , I was thinking about you today was wondering how you are doing

Whzt brand are the auto racks? Thanks George subscribed

Very grateful for this! Been considering dabbling in N using an ironing board as a base, expanding the edges to accommodate curves for continuous running. Hidden from view, as much as possible! Haven’t decided on motive power but this definitely helps!

Don't care for the hang over with larger locos/cars on smaller radius track. Good video though.

It's same with european models, a little bit shorter, but can do 170 mm. Also some long passenger cars. Looks very silly, but possible. I use only 295, some points 262.

Marvellous

One guy in my T-Trak club would argue with me till he was Smurf colored about how a 6 axle locomotive won’t make is around standard T-Trak curves (282 and 315mm) and we needed to scrap all our (read mine as I was the ONLY member that had curves) and build only large radii superelevated curves. I repeatedly ran my 6 axle locomotives on the inside line and I also would make comments like “I sure wish these 6 axle locomotives could make the standard curves…”.

Thank you for this. This was exactly the video I needed. Trying to devise a Christmas train on a 22" table. I thought I was going to have to do Z scale, but it looks like N scale is def an option too.

Roy where is an update I haven't seen you in a while!

I am worried 11" radius will be to tight. Well I guess not. Everyones opinion is welcome. Is 11" radius ok in N scale?

I want to do a shelf layout with tight turnarounds (ideally hidden by tunnels) and broad curves along the shelf part. This is helpful. Thank you

I'm fairly new to the hobby and stick with R249 as that seems to be the minimum radius stated by manufacturers. Thou, it is nice to see I could go down to the next radius if I needed too. Thanks.

Looks great Roy! :)

I appreciate this video. Helpful. Amazing that the centennial runs on that.

The Kato SD70ACE notes it can be run on 9.75 inch radius. On Kato's website.

Thanks Roy. I have some 9.75" radius curves coming to my layout soon.

Well, guess they just don't care how tight the curve is! I'm about to invest $1000 in Kato n scale track. Just trying to figure out the curves. I hate not using my endless amount of atlas code 80, but I just want EASY and not fight old tracks. ;)

Looking great!

Very beautiful brother Roy, New friend here stay connected God bless you

Nothing like moving trains! Nice looking track plan. I want to know more! Thanks for the show!

Smooth Runner!

Very nice, Roy.

run looks good Roy

Wait this is a different setup 😳 LOOKS GREAT!

Nice to see some content from you! Looks gooood!

Awesome Roy, looks good. Ran smooth as silk.. Great loco too.

Looks great Roy! A lot of potential and a very cool track layout to!

Looks Great Roy Great video TSM

Wow must be really good job by you because that bli diesel isnt missing a beat! Like your new track plan alot roy! Looks good!

Running really smooth...great job

running great brother thank you for sharing

Nice running train Roy , looking great

looks like it pass the test

Great looking runs (and a sharp loco!) Nice job, Roy!

Pretty cool Roy!

Smooth run man.. great job.

I Believe!

Looks good Roy. Have a Happy Thanksgiving……John

helps alot! thanks for sharing! CheerS :0)

Nice!

Nice experiments there and I am glad that they do work. However I would feel more comfortable using shorter length trains for the fear of a collision when passing each other. Kato UniTrack is some of the best around in my opinion.

Looks great Roy! Have you completed more of your layout?

I usually don't have issues with 6 axle locomotives till I get down to the 6-3/4" track. And even then some of them work but it's hit or miss. Things change when you stick a turnout onto a tight-ish radius. I have found that sometimes my 6-axle units will split the turnout. Probably due to the rotational force on the truck if the range of movement is at its limit. OF course that also varies from different manufacturers and models.

When I got into N Gauge I started with a very small layout with a 4 axle GP-35 and Kato 9.75 radius. I wanted to practice the basics especially landscaping before moving to a larger permanent layout. To make rail operations smoother I filed the rail joints. But on one spot I was careless and ended up filing a small dip. It didn't bother the GP-35, but when I added a six axle ES44 I had derailments every time the loco hit that small imperfect joint. I concluded that if there was that much pressure between the loco wheel flanges and the rails on 9.75 inch track, I didn't wish to subject my ES44 to it anymore. I added 3 inches to the width of my layout, removed all the track, and headed to my hobby shop for some 11 inch track. Happy to add that my permanent layout ended up with 12 + 3/8 radius with 19 and 15 inch easements.

is 1560 N scale?
