Which, functionally, means that straights are $2 apiece.
Hmm. I wonder if, instead of binning them, you could use the curves
structurally in landscape sections, much like Thomas Rafert has with
http://peeron.com/inv/parts/6162
(he makes a ~16x16 grid of bricks to desired height, then uses the
superbricks to provide enough support to float baseplates with structures
or additional landscaping).

| (...) how all plastic track could be more expensive than plastic + metal track. The bad thing here is that you can't buy straight track by itself! Users often end up with too much curved track... -Bryan (18 years ago, 29-Jun-06, to lugnet.trains)
