Has anyone Experianced or Seen the Code 100 -18 inch Model Power straight sections?

These are intrigueing, especially if you are using code 100. I can see many places where 18 inch straight sections can come in handy. Nickel Silver, a foot and a half long, actually straight. Take a look:

I've got to get some of them to try out. With the difficulty and expense of flex these days these things might become popular.

Why would you want to constrain yourself to a non-flexable piece of track that long?

Off the top of my noggin I can think of "hidden places" yard tracks where things are straight, anywhere straight you don't want to cut flex in half. Or were you kidding?

Agree. It's pretty easy to lay flex track straight. And fewer joints is always better.

I'm going to try some, just for grins and giggles. I'll try and report what I find out. Jim
