N scale/gague track "Sweeps"

There are several products around for track laying in HO and S called "sweeps". They are segments of curved bar stock in several different radii [radius - es (/)]. The nominal radius down the middle of the stock is the curve radiu in inches,

I'm looking for some in 9mm gauge (i.e "N" gauge) in really tight curves, i.e. 9 inch, 10 inch, 11 inch, 12 inch, for use on handlaying HOn30" trackwork with code 70 rail.

Anybody here know of a source?

Thanks.

Jim,

Track gauges in various radius and tangent are made by Ribbonrail - you can find them in the Walthers catalog or just use Google to search on 'ribbonrail track gauge'! They have scale gauges in N, HO, HOn3, S, and On3. The smallest 'N' I see listed is 15" radius.

Thanks Jim, I am aware of those in the Walthers catalog, made by Ribbonrail and others. Unfortunately the ones I see in N scale / gauge are not a narrow enough radius for my needs.
