What would I like to see track wise? - Automated turnouts as you mention - A new larger curve radius, probably 16 studs larger - 4 stud and 8 stud track sections - New geometry turnouts + one which the divergent track is equivalent to one (...)

| | | | I think we are closer to seeing a new larger track radius than anything else, mostly cause it seems like the least R&D dollars and is backwardly compatible with all other track elements. SteveB (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | (...) Roger that. Just ONE new mold, and a rather simple one at that, and all of a sudden a lot of people are a lot happier. But here's the rub. WHAT new radius? I would argue a radius that is just larger than the current one by the "standard" (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | | (...) I'd tend to agree with your thoughts on spacing - the other question is, do they make the sections 22.5 deg to match the current ones, or do they go to 11.25 deg to make the sections smaller? Or maybe even 15 deg (24 per circle), or 18 deg (20 (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains)

Fellow PNLTC member, Dan Parker, used a model railroading track saw to modify a few sections of track, and he can now make straight track sections of any length. To cut perfectly straight (...)
