Hi all, Getting back into the hobby after 20 plus years. My new layout will be two foot perimeter shelf in a 7x11 room. I want a double track oval with a small yard to start with. It will be powered by the Lenz 90 DCC set. I'm modeling modern BNSF and UP operations similar to what I see around Fort Collins, though I'm going to fashion some sort of arrangement with CP because I've alway been a fan of theirs. I currently have enough 28 radius curve for one oval, what should I use for the second oval (going slightly larger)? The track that I currently have is the EZ track gray. I got this so I could set up a fast oval on the concrete for my kids. Does anyone use this as their primary track? Can you ballast it to look good? Should I dump it in favor of conventional track and roadbed? I must say that I like the ease of use of the EZ. Thanks for all the help in advance, this is a cool board!
Hi BNSF-Fort Collins, Welcome to TrainBoard. I think EZ track is good for the oval on the concrete. For your layout I would go with flex track. O.k. it's not so fast laying track. But you can get the radius you want and are not limited to the sharp sectional track radii. Wolfgang
