Yes, flexible track is indeed available for N gauge modellers. Flexible track is a popular choice for model railway enthusiasts as it allows for more creative and realistic track layouts. It is particularly useful for creating curves and intricate track designs that are not possible with standard straight track pieces.
Flexible track is made from a flexible plastic material that can be easily bent and shaped to fit the desired layout. It comes in long lengths, typically around 1 meter, and can be cut to the desired length using a sharp hobby knife or scissors.
To use flexible track, it will need to be secured to the baseboard using track pins or adhesive. It is important to ensure that the track is properly aligned and level to prevent any derailments or issues with train operation.
One advantage of flexible track is that it can be easily adjusted and repositioned if needed. This allows for greater flexibility in designing and modifying the layout as it can easily and effectively be used to change the shape and configuration of the track as desired.
It is worth noting that flexible track is available in different codes, which refers to the height and width of the rail. The most common code for N gauge is code 55, but there are also other options available. It is important to choose the correct code for any flexible track segments to ensure proper compatibility with the rest of the layout and smooth operation.
Overall, flexible track is a valuable option for N gauge modellers, providing greater flexibility and creativity in designing realistic track layouts.
