There is no way I'd run a loco with such exquisite work in it, anywhere near the edge of my layout!
I don't have room to do what I want with a layout in a larger scale than N.
Thanks for the info. So Unitrack Flex track is pretty much regular flex track... Hmmm. I generally cobble together assorted short track pieces to...
