Oh, by the way, a big advantage for having 031 curves is that they tend to be very affordable now, especially Lionel Postwar 031 tubular track and 022 switches, because so many hobbyists are getting rid of their Postwar 031s and 022s, in order to have wider and more modern curves and switches.
For a while, I was like a kid in a candy store, getting my used Postwar track and switches dirt cheap at train shows. I believe it is still very affordable at train shows and LHSs. Arnold
