The latest flexi-track picture
http://www.aquazona.cz/smf/download/file.php?id=1729&mode=view shows check
rails inside the running rails. This might be OK for tram tracks through
streets, or maybe dockyards, but what about main rail lines?
If you are a public exhibitor of LEGO trains, are check rails a disaster, an
inconvenience or no problem at all?
Would you remove the check rails for a public layout or for ballasting the
track?

I don’t see myself using this in long strips together, so I don’t think it’ll
be much of a problem. Instead, I see myself using one or two in between
pieces of straight track to get certain geometries.
For public shows, I doubt we’ll use this at all. I have a feeling we’ll be
sticking with 9v for displays until we can’t run 9v at all any more. If the
PF trains really take off, we may start switching over, but I think it’ll be
a long conversion process.

I thought I read something somewhere that this track would allow it do quicker
inclines and declines, Dues the new track have a bit of a bend to it? or is it
simply the fact that it is four studs long, so the track pivots at the
connection point, and will allow us to rise 2 plates per track in 4 studs rather
then 16 studs....
