Decapod layout   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #565 of 1162 |
I have uploaded a file giving a layout for a proposed model of decapod
goods loco in 2 1/2" gauge (see Files section)
Would be grateful for any comments/advice, for example:
- I have assumed 25ft radius. Is this reasonable assumption and
what do typical layouts in UK use? (either G3 or 2 1/2")
- I have worked out side play needed, assuming min clearances.
Again are my assumptions reasonable?
- any other advice, apart from... try something simpler :-)
thanks
Chris
