The Faller curves that often come up on eBay are of a very tight radius.

Mamod track radius is 2ft 6in.

Yes, quite tight and you wouldn't want to go any tighter, but most things will run on them.

Faller stuff looks great for a properly light railway. I had a load that I should never have sold, sat really well with the Big Big Ruston I had at the same time. Might get away witha mamod/ Jane on it but anything bigger steamwise would look silly.

peco set track is the same radius as mamod track and both have a 5 foot diamerter circle when made. All of my locos will happily go round my curves although i did have to move my Lawley's wheels in a bit further so it wouldn't bind so much

alternatively you could jsut buy a lenght of peco flexi track, and then u can bend it to how eve ru like, but it needs a proper bed to keep it in place

thanks for all the ideas guys, Im gonna go with mamod track though since I already have some and only need a couple more pieces for what I have in mind.
