 The layout is 16.5" x 36".

Curves are 14cmR so about 5.5"R. I believe the turnouts are 140mmR so the same as the curves.

Page one shows the Tomix track layout. I bought some curves and double straights to cut some of the joiners.

Hello Chris,

thank you for your answer. I've got another question. Did the Bachmann 44ton switcher negotiate the curves with or without modification? And from where did you get the Boxcab Diesel?

I don't remember doing anything to the 44T and I have a 70T that goes around 5"R curves.

 The Boxcab is 3D and has a 44T under it.  https://www.printables.com/model/528899-n-scale-boxcab

Hello Chris,

thank you for your answer. I wonder if a Life Like/Walthers/Atlas GP 38, GP7, or an Atlas MP15 would negiotiate that radii?

Looks much larger, I was living a lie thinking it was a 2x4 foot layout.
