(...) This is very interesting... Is there a similar formula for a dog-leg? 1 curve, X straights, 1 curve the other way? What equations/formulae would you use to compute this? It's been way too many years since I studied trigonometry... --Bill. (22 years ago, 12-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I don't have an equation, but I think one curve, 12 straights, one curve will do a dog-leg that is eight 32-stud baseplates long and 88 studs wide (3 baseplates minus 4 studs each side). -chris (22 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) THANK YOU!!! This works perfectly! I just tested it in Track Designer.... --Bill. (22 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Does it work perfectly or does it go over in length by at least a half a stud? I couldn't tell from Track Designer. -chris (22 years ago, 14-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) It's close enough that TD considers it to be connected, and that's good enough for me. I used it for the yard design I just posted (q.v.) --Bill. (22 years ago, 14-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)
