what would be the minimum width of a balloon loop across, but also a good radius curve for slightly larger locomotives than mamods?

5ft radius curves are a good benchmark, however, if you do not have a space then 4ft will do.

Cheers,

Or if like me you really don't have any space 2ft 6 inch will do as well!
