I'm practicing on my old layout to get familiar with track laying and such. My old layout was a Tyco expansion for a circle. It's an oval with six 18" radius 1/3 track pieces and a 9" straight section for the ends or C's. I'm thinking of changing it to one of two set ups (I need to do road bed maintenance anyway) : 22" radius curves with 1" connector section to maintain the 45" OAL or Taking out the straight section to just make it a true oval end or C. I have three sons so some continous operation would help them get into trains. I'm going to replace the track eventually so this set up is for pratice and to see if the boys are going to be into this. There is an interior passing lane for some two train operation if I can get that operating. I'll add a siding or two just for the pratice until I decide what kind of layout I want to make. Thanks, DT
