By trade, I'm a gage/template-maker, supplying my customers with the above for tracing lathes. I make my goods from .031"/.062"-thick sheet-steel or aluminum, as requested by my customers. <br />I'm thinking of '<i>breaking-ground</i>' soon, and using flex-track exclusively, except for cross-overs & turn-outs, as stated earlier. <br />I'm considering making both 'male' (to secure against the inside-rail), and 'female' (secured against the outer-rail) radius-gages 18"-long, in radii ranging from my minimum radius of 24", to 36", 48", and 60", <br />as well as '<i>easement-gages</i>', with a 12"-segment of 60" radius, followed by radii of 24", 36", and 48", to aid in laying free-flowing curves with-out 'kinks' . <br /><b>#1:</b> Has anybody ever done this before? <br /><b>#2:</b> How did this work? <br /><b>#3:</b> Would any model railroader be interested in having these type of ages/templates made for them? <br />[%-)]
