Like most of the O and O27 track systems, MTH uses a 45 degree arc curve. These systems tend to be more rigid, of a pronouncedly "fixed" nature, and so the trackwork is tighter in some places and more awkwardly extended in others. Problems such as switch machines" can greatly expand the area needed for a track plan. For added insight, compare these plans with their H.O. counterparts.
