Hi,
As you may know Fast Track HO Crossovers (and others) are designed for 2" center-to-center track spacing.
This sort of dictates that straight track will be on 2" centers.
The NMRA recommendations for spacing on curved track of 32" radius is 2-1/2" for Class Ia equipment (think "Big Boy" locos).
So since I wanted a minimum radius of 30" the NMRA recommendations would make the outer radius 32-1/2".
So far so good.
My question is: How to transition from the 2-1/2" spacing on curved tracks to the 2" spacing on straight tracks?
