Hi all,

Does anyone know the minimum Radius a Kingscale Britannia will take?

Thanks simon

i would guess 10 foot, but ask colin mccaig, he has a layout, where the radius, slightly impairs running in the curves, but only enough to retard speed slightly. ash

The late Dave Lowe had no problems getting his Britannia around my curves. The tightest of which is 3.5m but the curves are gauge widened...

Regards

Thank you both. I will be having 14 foot curves on the layout but was hoping to reuse a 10 foot point.
