There is lots of guidance on minimum radius's but mostly on rigid wheelbases, My 5" garden railway will have 28ft inside radius curves, fine for my Ajax but I'm wondering about the next loco and fancy a tender engine. I've always liked the LBSC Maid of Kent or the Martin Evans Super Claud would either of these cope with the curves?
Thanks

Isn't it something like the minimum radius should be 20 times the fixed wheelbase?

Have a look at www.smex.net.au and go to the Reference section and click on the Minimum Radius calculator and have a play for some guidance Deeja |
