RR name) and length of your passenger cars? Do they have four-

Bachmann 85 length
Usher,
Use a minimum of 24 inch radius if possible. The manufacturer may state that the cars will negotiate 22 in radius, but I am working with a retirement group and their Walthers 85 ft cars need 24r. When running on anything less it is impossible to get around 22 r successfully everytime.
What about 28
What about 28" curves for passenger cars?
'
Anything larger then 24 will work. So yes 28 Will work
usher-
Twenty-eight inches should be fine. Thirty inches and up will help
long passenger cars both operate and look outstanding.

Right now i have phase2 passenger cars with 22radius curve track which i have on my layout now.Should i stay with 22 radius curve or upgrade to 28 radius curves.
if you have the room use 28.
usher-
A good Rule of Thumb when it comes to passenger cars, particularly long ones,
is that the largest radius that will fit is the radius to use.
