Flextrack Radius and Direct Wiring

Flextrack really itself doesn't really have a minimum radius, it's just that whatever that minimum radius is impossible to use for any equipment to operate on. I don't know what type of trains you intend to run but I'd use 15" radius at the minimun, even this radius will make it all but impossible for anything but the smallest locomotive's and cars to go through the curve. As to your wiring question that's fine if all you ever want to run is one train (unless you are using DCC). However, depending on the size of your layout you may need to add other power leads around the layout which I really recommend since track joints tend to lose some of the conductive ability over time (always it seems when your running your best train in front of all your friends). Good luck and may your blocks be clear.
