I found a nifty little HO track plan on this site ( https://slotracer.online/track-plans/tom...-1009.html ). It uses the dreaded hairpin turn. Does anyone have any tricks to using this turn successfully?
I looked at replacing it with a 6” turn [5-1/8 6” curves (left) plus a 9” or 12” 1/8 turn (right)] but a constant radius turn looks out of place with the flowing look of this plan.
Two thoughts:
1) get ride of the molded in “hay bales”.
2) add a conductive strip to the inside lane rails to aid in electric contact.
Thoughts?
