    i once saw Abraham Lincoln's and Benjamin Franklin's layouts while on a NMRA tour, and it was really good 😁

    This was a great podcast. Tom, you’ve given me a few ideas for a new layout (ugh). Growing up in CT, I really like the CT southern plan. I might be reaching out soon!

    Outstanding show guys perfect timing as I'm getting closer in starting benchwork & figuring how to get big steam running flawlessly, back to planning .

    Great episode!!!
    Regarding Curves, Joe Fugate illustrated them very well in the very first Episode of MRH Magazine, related to Car / Locomotive Length.
    The Radius related to the car length: (5.0X means the radius is 5 times the coupler to coupler length of the car).
    Here's the summary from his article:
    2.0 x Some equipment may track reliably, but 2x is generally considered pushing it.
    2.5 x Most equipment will track reliably if everything is of similar length.
    3.0 x All equipment should track reliably; coupler performance adequate if altered to allow 50% car width swing.
    3.5 x Equipment will look less toy-like when viewed from inside the curve.
    4.0 x Equipment will look less toy-like when viewed from outside the curve.
    5.0 x Most reliable coupling on curves with body-mounted couplers and near-scale draft gear boxes.

    Layout design….Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should lol
