Advantages of flexible track
The advantages of this type of track are many. For one thing, you have fewer joints in a run of track.  That means a lot to railroaders.

You also have the ability to gently ease your model into curves, instead of going right into them as with the rigid track.  Consider this, too! A three-foot section of flexible track can easily replace four nine-inch pieces of sectional track.

And perhaps what I appreciate most about flexible track is now I'm the one in control of the curves, not some stupid rigid track pieces.  I can make the curves exactly what I need them to be.  I don't feel as if I'm trapped into fixed radii produced for the mass market that couldn't possibly fit the area in which I'm constrained to work.

If you're considering giving flexible track a try, there are a few secrets that will make it more enjoyable, not only to install, but ultimately use as as well.

I realize, first and foremost, that I have to follow those laws of geometry and gravity.  By that, I mean that no matter the type of track I chose, if my curve is too sharp (the law of geometry), the train will derail (the law of gravity!)  So before I even begin to lay anything down, I take a pencil and literally outline the area I wish my track to follow.

In doing this, I can get feel for the minimum radii I have.  And I know I'm not going to go beyond this point.

Sometimes, I'll even use the flexible track as a template of sorts, drawing around apiece that is temporarily laid out just so I can be sure I have the track locations right and that they flow smoothly.

Yes, I'm sure you've probably heard the advice that a yardstick, a pencil and a length of string is all you need for a straight track.  But even armed with these instruments, I've been doomed to make errors.  When I use the real thing, my efforts go more smoothly.

The real key to the successful use of flexible track though lies in that word "smooth."  Let your track "do" everything smoothly.  Don't force it into any sudden curves or unexpected kinks.  And for that matter, don't try to fit it into any unnatural rises or valley.

Grading:
And we don't mean a report card!

Adjusting the grading of your track is a problem many novices to the hobby have a problem with.  Remember that your train is a mere model of the prototype.  The gradient may not seem like it's very large to you, but seriously examine the size of the train you're asking to run up or down those hills.

For the small-sized conductor struggling inside that locomotive, it may look like a steep, steep mountain! Don't let the grade start up too quickly. One quick way to ensure that you keep your locomotive safe is by placing your eye at track level.  Now just "sight" it along to keep the track flowing.

Most individuals don't realize that they have to be super careful if their train is only sitting upon a piece of plywood.  This type of ground covering is actually notoriously uneven.

If you should notice any kinks, while you're "eyeballing" the situation, or any bad joints, bumps or dips, straighten them out immediately.  If you can see them, they'll probably cause your train trouble.

The Stand $8.99 This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides -- or are chosen. A world in which good rides on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abigail -- and the worst nightmares of evil are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the dark man. In 1978 Stephen King published The Stand , the novel that is now considered to be one of his finest works. But as it was first published, The Stand was incomplete, since more than 150,000 words had been cut from the original manuscript. Now Stephen King's apocalyptic vision of a world blasted by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil has been restored to its entirety. The Stand : The Complete And Uncut Edition includes more than five hundred pages of material previously deleted, along with new material that King added as he reworked the manuscript for a new generation. It gives us new characters and endows familiar ones with new depths. It has a new beginning and a new ending. What emerges is a gripping work with the scope and moral comlexity of a true epic. For hundreds of thousands of fans who read The Stand in its original version and wanted more, this new edition is Stephen King's gift. And those who are reading The Stand for the first time will discover a triumphant and eerily plausible work of the imagination that takes on the issues that will determine our survival.

Joy at Work $15 Imagine a company where people love coming to work and are highly productive on a daily basis. Imagine a company whose top executives, in a quest to create the most "fun" workplace ever, obliterate labor-management divisions and push decision-making responsibility down to the plant floor. Could such a company compete in today's bottom-line corporate world? Could it even turn a profit? Well, imagine no more. In Joy at Work , Dennis W. Bakke tells the true story of this extraordinary company--and how, as its co-founder and longtime CEO, he challenged the business establishment with revolutionary ideas that could remake America's organizations. It is the story of AES, whose business model and operating ethos -"let's have fun"-were conceived during a 90-minute car ride from Annapolis, Maryland, to Washington, D.C. In the next two decades, it became a worldwide energy giant with 40,000 employees in 31 countries and revenues of $8.6 billion. It's a remarkable tale told by a remarkable man: Bakke, a farm boy who was shaped by his religious faith, his years at Harvard Business School, and his experience working for the Federal Energy Administration. He rejects workplace drudgery as a noxious remnant of the Industrial Revolution. He believes work should be fun, and at AES he set out to prove it could be. Bakke sought not the empty "fun" of the Friday beer blast but the joy of a workplace where every person, from custodian to CEO, has the power to use his or her God-given talents free of needless corporate bureaucracy. In Joy at Work , Bakke tells how he helped create a company where every decision made at the top was lamented as a lost chance to delegate responsibility--and where all employees were encouraged to take the "game-winning shot," even when it wasn't a slam-dunk. Perhaps Bakke's most radical stand was his struggle to break the stranglehold of "creating shareholder value" on the corporate mind-set and replace it with more timeless values: integrity, fairness, social responsibility, and a sense of fun.
