I have three different curves on two different types of track for O scale. The newer/modern O scale track has two different curve radiuses. I am assuming the tighter one is 027 as that came in a kit I got in the mid-90s. I am not sure what the wider one is. I have some pre-war O scale gear and that curve is wider than what I think is the O27, but tighter than the wider curve set for the newer/modern track. The pre-war track has taller spacers/ties. Are these common sizes of track? I have seen references to O31 before so I am assuming the wider of the modern track is O31, but I can't be positive.
All of the locomotives I have run with a transformer so they are AC.
I have been planning on an N scale layout running DCC for the last year. I bought about 250ft of track and 4 switch outs this Fall for that project. My goal is to set up a wireless NCE controller for that. I was looking at diesel locomotives for O scale this evening and I noticed they were DCC-ready. Those would certainly take a lot of current - much more than HO or N. Is that really a viable control source for O? Or is that a dumb question?
