Hello,
Ok I have R1 curves in my new layout- 2 reasons- 1) They came with the job lot of second hand track I built my railway from and 2) They have allowed me to make the railway blend into the garden by negotiating pre exisitng structures/beds.
I am fast realising that this greatly reduces the scope of locos you can aspire to and also that under live steam you have to drive constantly, and can't really let the trains go by.
I get the impression that most of you have avoided r1? Is the lady anne the biggest live steamer that will live with r1?
Just interested in the prevailing views
