I'm kunfused... what do you mean about the ties coming off the rails? Won't they do the same out in the 100+ degree tempature when the trains run on them? <br />I have quite a bit of room so 8' is OK with me <br />If I use flex track, do I have to buy a bender or has someone got another idea? <br />As you can tell, I sure don't know much :-( <br /> <br />Last question.. do you buy the rails and ties from the same manufacture or is there a "standard" that everyone uses ?? <br /> <br />Thanks, <br />Chuck <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by kimbrit</i> <br /><br />Hi Chuck, <br />Aristo track is the one, reasonable price, good quality brass and lots of different curved radii. My only moan about it is if I handle it wrong the tie pulls away from the track very easily - especially in hot weather. It only takes seconds to fix , but it's annoying. When laying the track keep your stack in the shade. As advised, 8' is the minimum curve but this leads us into an old discussion about where are manufacturers going with their products, install the biggest curves you can. <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup] <br />[/quote]
