(...) I agree with Tim. I think flex track can be useful for working out some interesting track geometry but beyond that I don't have any use for it. I think the idea of flex track was great and to be honest the LEGO actually came up with a pretty (...) (13 years ago, 27-Sep-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I've never tried it in a layout (I don't have a layout) but I always saw its chief use as being single bits of track here and there to open up the range of shapes in a full layout. Need a tiny bit of straight, use a flex. Need a tiny curve, (...) (13 years ago, 26-Sep-11, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Thanks much! Looking back I should have built it a lot bigger, but I made some design changes to get it to fit on 3 32x32 baseplates to fit inside the Wye I designed for my future Texas State Railroad diorama.
