In the last few years the zoo has received millions for a new expansions and part of it was for a second train station and a new fleet of engines and cars. The new track has broad curves and they dont come close to tipping, and the old sections of track (like where it flipped) are 15+ plus years...

Also alot of the good quality point and shoots have built in panoramic settings too.

I dont think it would be dirty rails. Make sure its not something lying across the rails, I was looking for a short, took me 15 minutes to realize I had a staple gun sitting on both rails :D. Hope you find it.

Just wanted to get some input on my new track plan. We are movig so I had to take the old layout down :(, but the good news is that the new train room is has 4 walls so I can do an around the walls layout. The room is roughly 24 by 11. Im leaving the last 4 feet of the room for storage, tunnel...

I think you could get tape to work. The only two problems you may run into is that on tight curves it may not be strong enough to keep flex track in place and if you need to take up a section of track it may take the roadbed with it :p.

In my experiences it is very easy to pull up track glued with caulk. I have used some of the same sections of track on three layouts. Besides the nails not looking great it seems that they would be hard to pull up without breaking the ties, maybe not. Just to give you the another side of the...

I would say most of us use flextrack (which would be hard to layout and test)on our layouts so we make a trackplan (or just wing it =) ) instead of laying out track and testing it. When I transfer a track plan I make a line down the center of the path. Only problem you might have is if you went...

If you do decide to go with foam if you split it down the middle when laying curves (it is pre slit jut pulls apart) it is alot easier to get it to lay flat on curves. Also if you glue it down (I would think it would eventually rip if you tried it with nails) you can sand foam to meet...

I'd say foam. It really comes down to personal preference. It seems to be about 50/50. See thread for more info -> http://www.modelrailroadforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11106&highlight=foam+cork
