Ward from the Golddawg Railroad in New Jersey paid us a visit during the open house event two Sundays ago. He went to all 9 of the open houses in the area, took pictures, and posted them on his webpage.

I was surprised to see how many of the railroads are using R1 curves (the 4' diameter curves that come with starter sets). So it got me to thinking, I wonder how many on MLS are using tight curves, too.
The follow up question to the initial poll is "Why do you use tight curves?" Is it space? Money? Both?
Where do you use the tight curves/switches?
I'm just curious, I guess.
For me, the tightest I have on the line are the 8' diameter curves. I am using these in my storage yard because:
1. I already had them
2. I have space limitations in the storage yard.
