Bob,

 

I have had the twisting or inward lean on some of this track. Sometimes it's the tightness of the ties. Usually after a little while of being used it goes away. I've also seen original Lionel track have the same problem from time to time. Of course it's better the camber is in the proper prototypical direction!

 

Steve, aren't we all twisted?

Pappy, thanks for the reply. You and Steve are probably right. All the other loops lay flat. I put this loop on the floor and it laid funny to my eye. I will try and post a pic tomorrow. Meanwhile, I started to put the track down in a permanent spot. When I connected the half circles to 36" straights the curves settled down somewhat. I have not screwed down the track yet because I'm waiting on 87" curves being delivered in two weeks. Maybe I will screw down some curves in the am. Thanks for your patience,

 

Bob

Thanks,

Bob,

For what it's worth, I have a loop of KMT STD 72 and it does the same as you describe.  I've never screwed it down as its a loop for display on the floor.

I've never had issues with it.  Usually the weight of the train pushes it back flat.
