Hi guys
I am going to try and build a small laout using the P4 flexi track, I like watching trains go round (tail chaser) and plan on having a small station on an oval of track.
I am thinking 1000mm bends is that about correct? Is ther anything along the lines of tracksettas for P4 track?

Depends on your couplings and the size of the stock. 1000 mm will work in p4 but it won't look good. I'd say 2000mm as a minimum for visible track but even then it's tight.

1000mm is cutting it fine. Recommended is 1200mm. OK, so I have used 920mm, but I was building stock to fit on it.

There is no Tracksetta for 18.83, you could use a trammel to set the curves out.
