Long story short . . . Fourth layout build in nine years. All previous were done with Lionel O27. Done as small as 4x8 and as large as 6x22 in the past. The new layout in our new house will be 30x11 approximate. I've been using AnyRail 5 to design it. After being unable to find an exact fit using a combination of Gargraves and Ross Track with Ross switches, I have been considering purchase of one of each radius curve that I need and using that as a guide exclusively with flextrack, knowing that I will have to cut it in spots. I have experience cutting Lionel stainless O27, but no previous experience with flextrack. My goal is to finally go from entry level items to a Top of the Line type, hi-rail set-up. I am willing to make the financial commitment, but I am concerned that my inexperience may lead to a higher degree of waste than if I were to use pre-configured track pieces. For those of you with experience in flextrack, what can you tell me to assist in either easing my fears about flex track use, or help me solidify a decision to stick with pre-engineered track pieces? Thank you for your time.
