We often get questions about working with flex track.

To get everyone who's interested up to speed with it, we've written a short tutorial.

You'll find our tutorials here:
Flex tutorial AnyRail version 3

I assume that there are more topics that could do with a tutorial. Please let us know if you've special requests!

Thanks David,

the tutorial on flexible track is useful, but I think more detail is required, especially with double (parallel) tracks (or any number of tracks greater than 1).
I am having difficulty trying to get double tracks to remain parallel (keep the spacing between the tracks constant) if I use the Easement option.  Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.  I am using Peco OO/HO guage code 100 flexible track.  I am unsure on how to keep the right distance between the tracks.

I can keep the tracks parallel where I use the Curve Flex option.  I am using minimum radii of 21 inch and 23 inch.  I found it best to decide on the radius I wanted and then create pieces of flexible track for whatever angle I wanted for that radius.  ie make the curved flexible track work like fixed curved track.

If possible it would be good to add something to the track geometry files which contains the spacings for each track type.  May not be possible for all types, but when it is possible it would be very useful.

I tried to use the link for the Tutorial but it came up with Fatal error. I'm afraid I still don't get how to "cut" flex track down to the SHAPE AND SIZE FOR A PARTICULAR size I need to connect  a gap. You talk about dragging but I am not confident I know how to drag to get the cut I need. Could you be more explicit than in the Manual, please. Is the tutorial still live or has it been replaced?
