One more thing in my "wish" list. Molded roadbed pieces which have some
way to fix them to baseplates, preferably adjustable (in which case the
edges would have to sit above the studs). If they were'nt adjustable,
they could get away with 5 moldings (straight, 45 degree left curve, 45
degree right curve, left turnout, right turnout). An additional nice
piece then would be a special straight w/roadbed piece for diagonal
tracks (this would actually be nice even without roadbed pieces).
