(...) It's pretty much impossible actually. I'd like to be able to just side-step a track in by one straight's length (16 studs) for a layout, but the only way to do it with correct geometry is to branch it in with a point and leave the straight-on (...) (22 years ago, 8-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

| | Getting diagonal track to line up properly?
|
|
Are there any web pages which have a study of how to line up Lego train layouts with diagonal track? That is, I want a little more freedom in my layout than forcing it to always use ninety-degree curves and parallel/perpendicular tracks, but I've (...) (22 years ago, 8-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Interesting idea, but wouldn't that require them to have all the ABS particle-thingys? Though with only 1 color, it might still be workable. Atlas has already made two other scales of track and has been around for over 50 years (I think), so (...) (22 years ago, 8-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Good idea - though are we a big enough market even for that? Either way, as Jason S says, they need to get Lego trains in model rail shops. Jason J Railton (22 years ago, 8-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I don't think there's anything to debate! Although it's sort of chicken/egg if the market grows, we'll eventually get better track from somewhere. (LEGO(r), or someone else) As to your idea of ringing in to other rail oriented rings, sounds (...) (22 years ago, 8-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

Good points Harvey, the more we get the word out the more it legitimizes "L" gauge. As for pictures of the club layouts etc. our works stand on their own. They must blow away model RR'ers that have never seen us at a GATS! SteveB PNLTC (...) (22 years ago, 8-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)
