Karl, thanks very much for posting the formula and superb info. If no other information gets processed by my non-technically inclined brain, this information will go into the layout planning binder. I figure that our 1:87 scale track gang will be ready to start laying track before too long. And thanks to all for a good, scintillating discussion and for excellent data and suggestions. Best Regards,
I downloaded the easements from Model Railroader and then took them to Kinko's where they copied them full size and I then pasted them on heavier cardstock and went from there. They are a little hard to understand at first, but keep studying the instructions and they will make sense.
