I've always thought it would be neat to make a small layout specifically for a turbo train, with tight high banked curves and loops. The only problem though is that keeping steel track clean enough for a TT to run on is a nightmare. So if I made it out of nickel track, I would have to find a way of bending flextrack into loops, and twisting it for banked curves. I know it can be bent sideways no problem, but does anyone know of a way that I could bend it upwards??
