Hey Forum Members,

I was hoping someone could help me out with a problem I'm having. Currently I'm making preliminary designs for track layouts. The client wants roughly 8000 feet of track to be laid, but there is no way I'm going to get that without curving the track. What is the smallest radius I can use for tracks while still being able to couple and uncouple train cars? I would need to meet standards for Missouri. Thank you very much.

Sincerely
WoehlkeTAD
