I really need two of these for my traction layout but would be interested in up to 8 of them. Let me know if you are willing to part with some and let's make a deal.



Thanks!

So the special track, sold only in complete sets that make a circle are extremely scarce. I have both the two pre-made circles of track, a 21" circle ITEM #: ART11140, and a 32" circle ITEM #: ART11145.

They are really hard to find as sets, I would think next to impossible to find by the piece. Searched for 2 years to get mine.

Thanks Greg, I can understand you not wanting to split it up. I could go for a whole circle of the 21". Send me a PM with how much you want for it shipped to Utah 84121.

Ah, I see. Yes I know how hard they are to find and already have some of each. Some I purchased new when they were available and some purchased later. Bending to suit is definitely an option but since this will be a winter project I thought I would try here first to see if I got lucky. I would feel better bending my own if it were a complete circle but I need two quarter circles that will be joined on each end to other track and I don't want it trying to straighten itself.
 
Try Theil - link in the links section.
 
Thanks Stockers. It looks like their minimum radius is 76.5cm so roughly a 5' diameter circle which is much to big for my needs.
 
Pity you live the other side of the pond - I'd have a go at bending some for you. Shipping from here is horrendously expensive.
 
I'll be in Portugal and Spain September and October but unfortunately not very close to the UK. I appreciate the offer though.

Almost any track is better quality than Aristo ha ha (I have all Aristo SS, but it was half the price of the alternative).

I'd get a piece of flex track, slide the rails out, bend it by hand around a cylinder and go from there...

Or get a single rail bender for $85 and bend it... https://www.sunsetvalleyrailroad.com/accessories.html

I sold my single rail bender for $30 recently, by llagas creek, but they don't sell it any more.

It was actually made by Lindsay, but sold by Llagas creek, perhaps searching ebay for Lindsay would bear fruit, besides the Llagas search:
