I downloaded and used the curve builder sited here:

Using some textures Luigi sent to me I have made the smallest BVE route: 25 meters long, 4 meter radius curve. See pictures, and yes you can drive this tight a curve if you use the correct locomotive and give yourself about 100 meters to run up to speed. Boring, but doable.
Mostly I am using the curve builder to build usable curves: the 8 meter 180 degree corner and the 16 meter 90 degree corner for use in tram/lrv routes.
Has anyone tried this with objects yet?
