Ho scale Logging Railway

This layout was developed by some modeller friends to show just what you can achive in a limited space and on a limited budget and keep the scale to "Ho"
Basic operation is the transfer of logs down from the top of the mountain to the bottom for unloading. There is still some scenic areas to be finished. Track was good old Peco code 100 setrack points and flexi track. A basic Bachmann Dcc system is employed. The two main locos are old MANTUA stock that have been wired up with Dcc chips.

18 inch radius curves. We run Bachmann 45 ton Ge, spectrum 0-6-0 tanks, mantua tank loco and a tram loco(a converted spectrum birney car and 25-32 foot rollingstock , mainly made by mantua.

the grades are steep but these locos have no problem with them and 3-4 cars.

The new bachamann alco 2-6-0 maintains a constant speed on the grades and flat fue to back emf in the decoder

I am wondering what the tightest radius's were that were used to achieve this layout as well as the maximum grade. It looks wonderful.
