Before I start fooling around with the pieces, I’m tapping this forums brain power to see if this simple task has a ( hopefully) simple solution.

I include an image.
Want to do an exit with radius 5 and maintain a radius 4 parallel on the inside, as much as possible.

Thanks in advance for any help. IMG_2369.jpeg (1,002kb) downloaded 53 time(s).

What turnout are you planning to use?

Hi Eduardo
I would think something like this

Please replace the 2205 reference by 24430 one

What do you think?

As soon as I posted, I started to play around with pieces or track and thought it would be impossible!
The end to the right is not 90 degrees from the beginning, but it will give some variety to the plan!
THANKS SO MUCH!

I rather use these turnouts, but I was wondering if there is a solution using the other turnouts, so it ends up at 90 degrees?
In another spot, similar situation, ending in 90 degrees would be preferable.
Conceivably use R3 and R4 radii instead of R4 and R5.

Again thanks so much for these designs

This is the other problem spot.
The outer loop is R5 with some small straights added to go outside the pure R5 curve.
Need a “ get away” from the R5 loop.

You could try creating the outer curve using 24912, but at 1.1146m radius, it is quite a bit wider than R5.

Hi Eduardo,

Another option for you to consider.

About the second hand drawn sketch: is it the plan to have six curves inside each other (or five inside the outer track) on the layout?

Not eventually. But the idea is to have one side with the loops and then have parallel tracks go to the right in annarea which will have minimalistic tracks.
I like to see the trains run. So I will use this “congested side” to set up trains and send them on a long run. Or to keep bysy in lical trafic.
Odd I know, but that is what I envision to do!

Thanks Ross for your design. I really lijed tge “Jean Option”. Very clean and although it does not end at 90 degrees, it is clise enough to be manageable for that leg of the “fly away to the right”.
Now I need a solution for the other leg of the “fly to the right”.
I might use the same “Jean” solution, rotated 90 degrees clockwise… but maybe Hean or someone else can come up with another combination.

Thanks again to all!

For the 90 degrees of R5+ you can have 24064 - 3x 24530 - 24064. It will work kind of R6.
