How-To: Easements Made Easy

[@davidwilson1724]

Good video. However, the 1" offset for a 30" radius curve is really excessive. About a 1/2" or slightly less would be more appropriate for this radius and this would be more easily accommodated on your layout (i.e., less shortening-impact on your yard). Great suggestion to use the plastic trim strip!

I was always told that as long as the easement is as long as your longest piece of rollingstock, it'll be nice and smooth, but as you said if it looks good to your eye, that's all that matters. well done and looking forward to seeing some trains running

Great tutorial and a simple way to me your layout look and run better. Thanks for sharing.

The "bent stick" method has been around for a long time, but I liked the tip for plastic trim.

Hey Matt looking getting their buddy look great when it is done

Fast track shoes how you can do it with using sweep sticks going from a smaller to your biggest radius curve

Ok question , if you have a set space , no room to extend to your curve to allow for the easement, so do move easement towards your straight section of track

FishplateFilms here on you tube explains the transition curve pretty well. Check out his channel.
