I've posted elsewhere on this but, my only regret with using tube track was going with 0-27 back in 1989.  What in the heck was I thinking?

Curt,

There's nothing to be ashamed of. I read somewhere not that long ago that there is a company making some wide-radius 027 track. The company is having trouble with Lionel over a patent from what I understand. Lionel never planed 072 switches using 027 track? I'm trying to follow this one. We need a low-profile track system.                                                

Pappy:

I have given some thought to pulling out the 0-27 curves and switches on my layout and replacing them with a minimum 0-42 or larger if I can find it.  I still have to resolve how to tackle a curve in a tunnel as well as the impact on scenery and buildings before I go any further though.

 

Actually, how to do all of this is one of the things I am most likely to contemplate in the evenings when I'm running trains and sipping on a sweet tea.
