If you are planning model train tracks for your OO gauge, N scale, or HO scale railroad layout, then here are some key points to consider:

1. Avoid any temptation to form the track radius curves tighter than is practical
2. Ask yourself - Do tracks with tighter curves look convincing and natural?
3. Keep in mind that rolling stock lengths are typically longer nowadays
4. Longer cars and rolling stock can give the appearance that track curves are sharper than they actually are
5. Would a real full-size railroad have track curves that tight?
6. Real-world railroad curve radii are considerably longer than can be replicated and modeled in the scaled-down space layout of a model train layout
7. Make the track curves as large as your model train layout space will accommodate
8. Use some model railroading scenic tricks to distract the viewers focus from unusually tight track curves
9. Ask yourself - will a new locomotive with longer rolling stock safely navigate the track curves without derailing the whole train?
10. Fact is; much will depend on the era you choose to model
11. A model railroad setting running large steam era engines is not generally suited for limited sized model train layout spaces
12. Sharper track curves are generally better suited for mining, logging, or switching puzzle model train layouts that operate with shorter length engines and rolling stock
13. Make the minimum track radius AT LEAST as large as would be practical for operating the longest rolling stock or model train locomotives
14. These points apply regardless of the size of your model train layout N scale, OO gauge, or HO scale. The same rules apply.
