Model Railway Track Layouts
Laying of Model Railway Flexible Track?
Hi everyone, I have another question for you. I need help again. The end of my layout table is 4 foot wide. I am running track 1" from the edge of the table. I want to use Atlas Flexible track around the end. Would it be okay to put a 6" or 9" straight section of track across the end of the table, and connect the two flexi tracks to this. Or don't use a straight section, and just connect the two flexitracks together. I don't know how to attached a photo, so if you need more info. Contact me at my email address, vk4bcp@optusnet.com.au
Thanks.

Use the flextrack.
You certainly could use either method, but to use the straight piece of track adds another joint that you probably don't need. It also can serve to limit the latitude you have in the whole track-layout scheme. I combined the two types of tracks in my last layout and, in retrospect, wish I would have used the flextrack more than I did.
Plus, from strictly a railrosad perspective, using only flex track makes the "curve spiral" issue easier to solve.
