Bill,
Unfortunately I can't take credit for it, nor do I know who was the originator. To be more generic step 1 should be sectional track. I'm all over the place. My garden layout is sectional track because I didn't want to fuss and the secondary interest become primary, but then some of my straight sectional pieces are four feet long. My S/Sn3/Sn2 layout (the primary and larger layout) is hand laid, at least so far. I have too much special track. One of the first areas I built included a curved dual-gauge turnout (48"/44" radius) followed, just past the last frog with the diverging tracks, by crossing a curved Sn2 track. And the last frog of the turnout and the crossing are on a vertical lift section.

It was 1 of the best goofs posted in a while! I laughed out loud - thanks much. It's said there are four stages of track laying in a model railroaders life: 1 - Snap-track 2 - Flextrack 3 - Handlaid 4 - Flextrack I largely skipped the snap track aspect bec! ause to me that implies HO Atlas track which I never had much of. I was A F until my HO period starting at 15 but that was as a Jr member of an adult HO club. Thank You, Bill Lane
