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.pauly wrote:didnt Pete use some on his extension? looks tight!

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.
