We plan on setting up a loop at the local coliseum and going around the outer concourse, so no there will be no curves in the layout! That means LEGO has 2 radii ~14" and 1000' :) SteveB (...) (23 years ago, 10-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

This weekend the North Carolina LEGO Train Club (NCLTC) displayed our layout at the Southern Jumction Model Train Show.
