Also quick question. I was thinking of being able to quickly save space and put up the track. 0-27 is a 27"   urge radius correct. So 2 32ish inch boards in width to make an L might work to have a good straight and corner and not be an oval. Basically have all pieces secured to wood except 2 that will go down when the train is set up could possibly work as a space saver when not running but get decent track. I read keep track 30" for reach basically. Right now I'm reading one basement set up I will dream about on here. Through walls and around a massive basement, turn around etc. 

Yes, that would work. Also, some use the hollow interior doors for a layout that can be carried and stored. (borrowed from HO) They are 32" w or 36"w by 72" L.  A 32" curve would be 4 curve pieces and 1 half -straight. A 36" would be 4 curves and one full straight in between, when using O27 track and small curves.

The door can set on the floor, on a table, on saw horses. You get the idea.
