With regard to bending the curve to properly use the rail gaps, I have two questions?
1. What if you need a tighter curve than the gap will allow by bending to the inside?
2. If you have a small offset S curve would you bend the track both ways through the S, or take one track through the beginning and then a second track through the end so that each could be bent the “right” direction?
From the segment title, I thought there would be some discussion of the different brands of flex with their individual benefits and challenges. And some comments in how well these brands match with each other. Turnouts as well. Maybe in another video?
