(...) That wouldn't work on its own. Firstly you'd need a bridge, since a regular crossing wouldn't be any use. Secondly, there's no way you could keep the tracks 2 studs apart around a 270° arc without lengthening the inner rail somewhere. Even a (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I've thought of that problem, too. I *think* it could be solved by building a figure-8 track. The outter tracks on each curve would be longer than the inner tracks, but by having them opposite they would cancel each other out. OK, time to dig (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)
