Large radius half curves

I never understood why HD went to all the bother of producing the standard curve in half and quarter sizes yet never applied the same level of attention to the large radius.

Not normally a problem until you want to do something fancy whilst maintaining the appropriate gap between tracks.

As the new layout has a "fancy" corner, it was out with the Dremel again to carefully cut down a large curve into two halves. Some minor soldering required underneath before this can be fitted but it should do the job and save me having to use 1/8 rails to space it properly.

Looks about right when compared to the standard radius anyway...
