    I would like to put a overpass/bridge/tres on my layout, over a curve track. My question is, if I use 18"R, will that fit on a structure that is R2? I know R2 is 17 3/8th or something like that, just did not know how exact that was. Here is what I was looking at: https://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/528-67026 Thanks!

    I think the difference will be irrelevant and no one would even notice it

    ' R should work OK.It depends on where that 17.375 R is on that bridge. if it's on the inside then is should be OK. But if it's in the middle or outside then that 18" R will look like it doesn't "fit" right. Why not use a piece of flextrack & curve it to fit. There will be some left over that can be used it somewhere else.
