Was looking at the Tomy banked curve set at the local hobby store. Has anyone ever tried to piece them together alternately (backwards) so as to make "S" turns with some banking effect as opposed to piecing the together normally? Wonder if will work? Would it be too cupped and mess with the level entry and exit points too much? Or could you insert some 3" sections to lessen the cupping? Anyone got any that ain't nailed down yet? Kinda like this....

It wouldn't work because the track wouldn't lay flat on the table- it would start snaking upward due to the angle coming off the last curve to the next reverse curve.

but, but, but ...ya might be able to get away with using the full 180 + plus 1 entrance/exit straight piece on either end...No?

So ya'd be making exagerated "Esses" from staggered "You's".

Sounds more like what I used to do on Fri er Sat night! LOL

I know ya dont have the room Nuther, I was just bein a Pud for arguments sake.
