I've got a suggestion about the boards - particularly for those who want to
permanently lay one out. Keep the ends of the track half a straight in from
the edges of your board. Then, add a loose straight when you bring them
together. This saves you having to shuffle tables around to a fraction of a
mm to bring them together, and means you don't have track connectors hanging
over the edge of the board when you're moving them around - you can stand
the board on-end then without damaging stuff.
So, your smallest curve on a fixed layout would have an extra straight
between each 1/4 circle - don't know if this affects the overall board size
though.
