How do you lay a curve?

I'm an N scaler myself, but I've used Flex Track a number of times on large radius curves. My advice is that if the template is over your head or too much to deal with, toss it in the trash and just jump in there and do what you have to do. First of all I would connect one end firmly and nail or soldier it in place, then gradually start curving it as close as you can to what you want by eye. The problem with Flex Track is that the ends of the track are going to become uneven as it's curved and both the ties and track will have to be cut and filed to even lengths in order to be connected to the next section of track. It's a process and a pain in the --- but the end results are worth it... <br /> <br />Hope this helps. <br /> <br />trainluver1
