You’ll have no issues, especially if they are Japanese vehicles. Just make sure you don’t put scenery too close to the tracks, all vehicles have a tend to over-hang.

Meanwhile, the main issue I had on the curves was with a DD51 Diesel. It couldn’t take the smaller curve. My EF66 handled them well though.

Thank you so much for your reply. I have only three 2-cars commuter trains(17m, 19m and 20m) You think they will be ok on the curves? Love the fact I can operate small trains and make a semi-urban layout ;)

Martin, the track is “Tomix Fine Track”. PlazaJapan is a great store on eBay to find it.

See the track plan gallery here (http://modelrail.otenko.com/photo-album?itemid=10), but the exact plan isn’t there. You can see the curves used though. This link (http://modelrail.otenko.com/photo-album?itemid=6610) will show you the track piece numbers. There are three types of curves from Fine Track, I’m using the second-smallest (1112) for the inner circle and then one size larger (1113) for the outer.

Note that larger locomotives will have trouble negotiating the corners.

My name is Martin and I’m from Argentina. I found your site when looking for N scale buildings and immediately caught my eye. Really wonderful work. When I saw this small layout I was amazed also, really good distributed in so little space. Is there any chance you could send me some layout plan or the code of the tracks you used? I hope you don’t mind. Thank you very much and regards.

Standard 2.5mm diffused white LEDs. They actually have a creamy-yellow appearance when not lit.
I’ll post an article on my quick-and-cheap light post techniques soon.
