Actual HO curved track dimensions - Model Railroader Magazine

Hi Everyone. I'm new to the HO forum here, as I am primarily an O scale guy.

I'm developing a new ELevated Subway bridge system for the HO market which is very similar in basic design to what I presently offer in O scale. Being unfamiliar with HO I need to determine the actual dimensions of curved track. Are all manufactures the same or do they differ; in other words is the radius exactly the same say 15 inch on center, 18 inch on center etc or does that dimension vary somewhat from manufacturer to manufacture. I have noticed that PECO has a center of 14.625 inch for the 15 inch size, 17.25 for the 18 inch. Hope i'm clear on my question.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
