New route building question - minimum track radius

I'm attempting to build a route that extends off part of the London to Faversham route. I've cloned the route and am working off that. The problem I have is that I can't lay curves tighter than 500m radius, which is fine for the mainline but no good for crossovers and branches. I assume this is to do with the track rule, but L2F has many curves far tighter than 500m. I know I can use RW Tools to change the track rule if needed, but I think I'm overlooking something far simpler. I know most track rules have a "yard" setting that allows tigher curves, but I can't find how to set this with L2F, the only tracks I have are Classic and High Speed with tunnel versions of both.

Hi, when laying track you can change the type in the right hand flyout, 4 settings mainline, passenger, yard and freight, these give different radius's to the track.
If you use this then when using easements you need to straighten the track back out before switching to another

Laying as yard track allows you to go to 100m (?) radius. Then change the properties back again when tracklaying is complete

Hi Chris,
change the minimum radius in the track rules of the track you use. Its easy with RW_Tools.
