Prefer to start a curve with about ten inches of straight track. Mark where the flex track naturally begins easement and use radius tool only for about 3/4th of curve. Like real railroad practice.
I’ve heard that from others. I’m planning on using it for my next small railroad. See the video on “My Next Small Scale Railroad…” that I just posted for the plan.
@Dean's N-Scale Trains never mind when the roadbed was cork they would cut the bevel down the middle. I have that same roadbed, and the bevels are cut on the ends without having to join the two pieces as in days of old. Carry on 😇🙏
Oh, I see. I don't cut the foam roadbed in two. I leave it together and I can form it to the relatively broad curves I use. the roadbed has a bevel on both sides that I leave.
Thanky Dean ...i cant wait to build my layout with the family i love and mu beautiful voice wife ..thankyou baby girl 💋❤♾️🩵🧩 Robbie
Thank you for sharing your ideas and tips for building a model train layout. I'm learning a lot.

Kato track is better Dean !

Awesome Video Dean! I'm excited to see where this project goes! I learned alot from this video!
Thanks! Glad you're getting something usable out of the series.
where do you buy these kits?
I bought the Atlas track and the Woodland Scenic roadbed from Amazon, but there are lots of other sources.
Say, it didn't look like you put beveled sides out ?
I don't understand. Beveled sides to what?
