For example, a small code 55 point has a curve radius of 12" so no running problems should be encountered, and it gives you longer loops for storage They are medium and short radius code 55 points. I think the photo has made them look longer than they really are. As far as longer loops, they don't need to be any longer. The shortest of the main loops will be 2m the longest over 3. The shorter loops at each end will take a 3 or 4 coach DMU. #4

BUT SERIOUSLY - DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Quote from: Newportnobby on Today at 11:05:50 AMImagine going round a bend and meeting a tram coming the other way.There was a spate of similar stunt videos around that time (over a decade ago) and at least one did result in serious injury when one did indeed meet a tram coming the other way. Having seen the aftermath of Tram vs Pedestrian collision, afraid for me, it's no laughing matter and my sympathies are entirely with the tram driver... #7
