flex track

[challenger3802]

On corners you can mold the flex track exactly to the radius you need, without having to rely on the radii given by the settrack elements. Some of my corners are shorter than others and using settrack would have been impossible.

With flex track I can have sweeping curves with sleepers that look correctly spaced, instead of having massive gaps at every join where settrack meets.

The main downside is that it is more difficult than sectional track to install. But if you use sectional track you still have to be careful in how you lay it to get smooth trackwork. Main plus for flex track is being able to lay curves in any radius. This is particularly important when laying double track curves as it usually works out to having to lay one of the tracks to a frational radius such as 26 3/16" for which no sectional track is available. Also, while you can simulate an easement using sectional track. you can lay a true easement with fkex track.

And less joints makes for better electrical contact and a lot less feeders.

-Easements come out smoother.
-You can make wide sweeps which is impossible with sectional track
-Less joints means less chance of derailment

I think it looks better

It allows you to design a layout without the contraints of sectional track. It requires cutting and careful measurement, but it makes a much smoother layout.
