You're still wrong Kai. Nor are you the only model railroader here. Take any
issue of Model Railroader and find a track plan. Compare the scale on the
plan to the stated minimum RADIUS and you'll see that, same as in any other
use of the term, RADIUS is the distance from the CENTRE of the circle to the
outer edge. Diameter is the distance you are describing, from one outside
edge to the other outside edge of the circle across the centre.
