Those Sanborn maps are pretty cool. I like that you can enlarge them to see details easier.

I bought Anyrail also. Even though I have my layout now, I still like playing with Anyrail and coming up with different layout designs just for the fun of it.

You need a 33 1/4" 12 degree curve.

Ralph - It sounds like he just bought the pier sets and not the "Track Pack". I might be wrong.

Are you familiar with Wiseman? They have a lot of small parts.

I run an On30 2-6-0 and passenger on mine with 15" radius on the inside lap. As long as you run too large of a steam loco, you should be ok.

My layout has 15 and 18 inch radius pieces and my On30 2-6-0 doesn't derail. There is a lot of overhang so it doesn't look prototypical. Perhaps you should have posted this in the On30 section.

On that old post, my pictures aren't there for some reason.

I don't have the track to test it. Judging from the small amount of misalignment show in Anyrail, you should be fine. I have found that Anyrail can sometimes be "off" a little and show things like that.

Steel will rust. Nickel silver won't.

What is it doing or not doing?

Make sure it's not the wire going to the track. I had a wire develop a break in it.

Ralph - I believe he already has the #5 turnouts. Maybe not, but that's what I get from reading Hugo's post.

I run a pair of f7's consisted. I made them both the same address.

Good stuff. In 1903, it talks about selling 2 Shays but nothing says when they bought them. In 1907 they  bought one Shay.
