HEY JEFF,
I know you know this, but please allow my retort:
With Flex Track, you can start with a fixed radius and go through an infinite change of radii until you emerge into a Tangent track, with no intermediate steps!
You can advance from a "serviceable job" to a really smooth transition! Even where it isn't noticeable, why not do a perfect while you're at it?
This is how track is laid in real railroads, using specialized plane geometry which includes Versed Sines and Secants.
BAD ORDER
No problem, Hal. I like flex track. I am, however, a complete lazybones, and I've had a few health problems in the last few years that conspire to make things like track laying difficult. Because of those factors, sectional track is perfect for me, and it can use my limited stamina and patience for other projects, such as building turnouts, or attempting to scratch build trolley equipment.
My On30 is Kato unitrack, and it works ok, although voltage drop can be a problem (something that doesn't seem to be the problem with Atlas O sectional track).
