(...) Q: Are the rails available separately? That is, w/o the sleeper pieces. I have considered getting LEGO trains for the past 2 decades, but never bought a single train set. Therefore, I have no track in my collection. Except for a bunch of 4.5v (...) (13 years ago, 5-Apr-11, to lugnet.trains)

(...) use a clumsy straight-curve-straight configuration for our corners; are the numbers on what those geometries are public information yet? We look forward to the Good News;-) JOHN (13 years ago, 3-Apr-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
