trying to make the most of of the space i have to work for an ho set that is 48" x 48" to go under a christmas tree. - just trying to setup something to look nice and be fun for a child's first christmas- i dont want to run the cars off the rails with any turns that would be too tight. i figured a constant smooth curve would be better than straight, turn, straight, turn , etc. i figure if i can prove this to be a fun thing, i will be able to add more area. based on this theory, i bought 16 pieces of 22" radius curved track sections which should give enough room around the track edge without coming off the potential platform. any suggestions? or should i get a smaller radius, adn then put some straights in it? i would guess a few cars would be nice - maybe 4 or so? thanks.
