My wife has promised me half the basement for my trains whenever we buy our first house. While this is no doubt at least a couple of years away, I've been busy sketching when not working on my small office layout, assuming the house was the same size as the one we're now renting (i.e., the train area would be 25' x 15').
While it's made me change my mind on what to model on the 4x8 in the garage (i.e., I'm going to model a 4x8 section of the final layout so it can just be plunked right in when the time comes), my mind has turned to minimum curves.
The mainline that runs from end to end, specifically. While 36" minimum curves seem excessive to me (especially when I want it to loop at each end), I was thinking more like 26" (the final loop would probably be 26" easements into 22" curves).
My question (which is finally just about here) is this: does any trackmaker make HO track with greater than 22" curves, or would I have to use flextrack for that??? I checked Atlas' website, and all they have is 18" and 22".
