Just a quick question:
I'm planning my new layout now. It's focused around Chicago and the rest of the US of A. I just recently got the idea to put in the 'L'. I saw Micro's city viaducts. They look good, they have straight pieces, but (here's the question): Do they have curved pieces or are the straights somehow flexible*
Thanks,
*Highly unlikely :D ;).
The tall steel viaduct can be used down to an 18" radius curve. Be prepared. There is a vast amount of repetitive sub-assembly construction.

Most railway bridges (the El is a railroad, after all) aren't curved; they are a series of straight sections at angles to one another.

Right, so does that mean you've got to get 2 straights and curve the track on them, or get 2 straights and put and switch on it?

I meant: "Do you get 2 straight pieces, take the track off, curve them, and put them back on? Or do you take track off of one piece and put a switch on it?"
P.S. I love your signature, The Eagles are awesome ;D.

OK, does Micro's city viaducts come with track attached?
Micro's bridges and viaducts come without track. They have a chart of what needs trimming to allow the viaduct to be "curved." They sell bridging track to lay on the finished bridge.

What we're asking is, what does a switch have to do with what you want to do?
