This tool is to help get the best distance between the train and the platform edge on a curved platform. 2nd, 3rd and 4th radius tool available
At my local model railway club, we have a curved platform that has been redone several times because trains keep touching the platform so I thought I would work out the optimum distance 2nd, 3rd, and 4th radius track. To do this I looked at several items of rolling stock. To get this right I needed the length of the rolling stock, the width of the rolling stock, and the distance between the center of each bogie. I also looked at this in a very similar way for steam engines. Within the club, people said to use a mk3 coach, but after calculating the overhang mk3 coaches are not the best piece of rolling stock to use. Depending on bogie spacing some had a bigger external overhang but minimal internal overhand. The new class 800 IEP I wouldn't use on a track with a platform on a curve because to overhang exceeds all other rolling stock by a fair distance.
2nd radius (438mm), 3rd radius (505mm) and 4th radius (572mm). Just add wheels and you're ready to mark where the platform edge should be.
