I use our Aussie club track which is our own version of flexible track and I can tell you it is a step up, you become a much more professional garden railway person as a rtesult of using it. You can have any curve you like and combination of curves and also any length you like. I wouldnt go any other way. <br /> <br />You do need a rail bender and don't be put off about only getting the bends approximatel right., variations between the tracks is what causes the problems to do with camber. Few peole who subscribe to this forum have any idea of the negative importance of this. <br /> <br />You do need a rail bender, a hack saw and a fine file, as well as some measuring devices such as a soft flexible tape measure, plus a fine marking pen. I also solder all my joints and as the track sections are 3.6 m or 12' long it is hard to get it 100 % right but when you do it is absolutely the best and most reliable track you can have. I have now laid 160 metres (525 ft) of it under about as many variable positions that you could imagine. <br /> <br />It is recommended by Jack Verducci as well and thats good enough for me <br /> <br />Also it is about a third the price in this country and the alloy mix is better than LGB in my opinion. <br /> <br />Send me and email and I wil send you some photos of the terrific curves i have created, really good stuff. <br /> <br />Rgds Ianl
