Track layout

[Dutch Kills]

I would like to create a layout with a 10 foot curve (Radius). How can I do it with O gauge track?

[Guilford Guy]

Wow!
10ft radii!
The largest mass produced is O-99, 99"diameter by atlas...

Dutch,
Are you Dutch or German by any chance?

  Neither, my parents are from Greece. The civic association to which we belong is called the  "Dutch Kills Civic Association of Long Island City"
in Queens NY.

The area was settled by the Dutch in 1664. The word "kills" in Dutch means rivers or small streams, hence the name.

Okay.  I was just struck by the German sentence structure of your last sentence.  I think that the  structure is Dutch, too.  I thought maybe a translation problem caused the ten foot radius - which I agree is something else again for a model train layout.

Thus the name "Kill van Kull" in Staten Island or Great Kills, also in SI, where the remains of the WTC were taken.

I would definitely use Atlas flex track. Are you talking 10 foot diameter or 10 foot radius?

I've seen O Scale layouts with 72" radius track and that was impressive. I'd love to see 10 foot radius. Good luck with your project.

Dutch;
Where are your parents from?  My Mom was from Salonika; my real father's family was from Drama.

Peco makes some O Gauge flextrack.

They make Bullhead as well as Flat bottom. Here are the Flat bottom codes.

I don't know what the availability or expense would be in your area, but at least it gives you a little more choice.

SL-700-FB      Flexi Track Code 143 “Flat bottom Rail”, Wooden Sleeper. 1 Yard.
SL-700-BH      Flexi Track Code 124 “Bullhead Rail”, Wooden Sleeper. 1 Yard

Merry Christmas
