BudE. posted:I recently completed replacing my outer loop of standard gauge track with dual gauge track from Gargraves. The turns are all 72"radius. It runs very well and I'm so glad I did it. Bending the track that comes in 37.5 inch sections was not at all hard. We cut the radius and track width out of a 4x8 OSB board, then squeesed the track between the 2 OSB sections with clamps. Just tightening up the clamps did all the work. We learned that if we released the clamps right after bending the track wanted to spring back a little but after leaving it under pressure with the 3 clamps for a couple weeks it took a set. We stapled the ties to half inch homosote cut to the 72 inch radius after we spread glue on the homosote. a few screws between the ties hold the homosote to the train table. Here are a few pictures:
Very cool! I love it!
