TimWay4 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Hello, I'm looking at doing a micro layout, 12" x 24" I'm not looking at getting into the overly complex world of flexitrack at the moment, so does any one know of some tight radius curves that will allow B-Trains to run round and give me a 180 degree turn inside 12"? I've tried the Kato 150mm 40 degree and they aren't tight enough for me. Thanks Tim Link to comment
bill937ca Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) The tightest is Tomix Super Mini R103 in 30 and 60 degree. It comes in stock rail, wide tram track or even bus road. R103 is 4 1/16 inches. R140 is 5 33/64 inches. Tomix 1111 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10045561 Super-mini Rail Set Oval Layout Set (Track Layout SA) https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10045805 Next tightest is R140 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10064021 Also available in sets. Tightest points are R140.

A simple example about what is possible with Tomix Super mini curves and mini points: This layout would also be usable with shoter Tomytec train collection trains besides the B-trains.

TimWay4 Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 This is all useful information, Thanks Bill and KVP. KVP, that is almost the exact track plan I was considering, I just have one question, what is the untagged piece between the S33 and the C140-30? is it too small to be tagged, or is it flexi track? 1 Link to comment

Probably S18.5, the shortest Tomix piece. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10037831 Edited July 19, 2018 by bill937ca 1 Link to comment
