Well, you can allways do the non lego thing and cut some track so that the
geometry is better. I have 4(?) pieces that I had to cut for the current
layout, plus 2 points (cut and remade into full curves...why they didn't make
them like Matt suggested...I don't know...)
Designing a layout around a room is always a challange, no matter what scale.
