Flex Track Question

I built a figure 8 N scale layout inside a desk drawer using atlas flex track. The inside dimensions are 17 x 40.5. I did manage to get it to work but it was not easy. If i had to do it again i probably would suggest soldering the track together first and then try to bend that kind of radius so it will bend like one piece. The hardest part was keeping the joints tight. It did however work for me without any derailments. The only thing is you will probably be limited to the smaller engines. I am running a MDC 2-8-0 steam engine without any problems. Hope this helps.
