Why go to the trouble of altering your track. I could give it a good home. I of course would give you viisting rights:D:D:D

Or if you want to go to R5

Curves 18000 & half curves 18020.

RH point 18050

LH point 18150

The arc of the curves and points is 15 degrees so 24 to a circle....

there is no 3 ft radius in LGB

there is a five foot diameter -15000-no corresponding points (R2)

and

an eight foot diameter-16000- (R3) with points


typically, using R2 alleviates many binding issues if space is tight, but as for the 2-10-2 using R2 and being happy-i cant speak
