What Are The Advantages Of Flexible Train Track?

Flexible track (often referred to as flex track or flexi track), as its name implies, can be bent to any shape you want. Model railroaders can usually purchase it in three-foot lengths. Flexible train track has the advantage of being bendable which opens up new options when planning a model train layout. Flexible track can be curved or laid straight or any combination you wish. With flexible train track there are usually fewer connections to worry about. Flexible train track does however need to be nailed down to a board and the rails need to be trimmed to length as you bend the train track.

When using flexi track, it is important to remember that if you make the bend too tight in your layout you’ll need to use shorter trains, otherwise your trains will be prone to derailment.

Flexible track also enables you to go into a curve more gently and make the train track fit your train layout without the constraints of fixed track sections.

Which Type Of Train Track Should You Use?

It does not matter what kind of train track you use - it is entirely up to you. You can even use both kinds together. Most model railroad enthusiasts have their preference. Flexible track is more work to set up, but the extra time has the benefit of less joins. The curves can be more realistic too. Depending on where you live, flexible track is usually cheaper than the equivalent length of set track.
