Excellent video showing the different radius is a good idea for somebody. If they're getting involved of building a model railroad video, keep the steam rolling.
Most locomotives will have a minimum radius listed that they proform best on. Steam locomotives are affected the most by this (2-8-0 wheel arrangement and up). Some may have "blind drivers" and will do better than others. Rolling stock typically will run on any radius, but keep in mind the longer the car the more it will hang over the tight radius curves... if that makes sense?
@@themillrunandwesternmaryland11 Awesome! Thanks for the response as well. I won't get any passenger or autoracks then. I'm at 28.74" (730 mm) radius all around. Two 270 degree circles with a 90 degree crossing (bow tie layout).

Make the Beard Grow Again lol
Very cool! Thank you! Now just thinking out loud. Which stock requires which radius.
