This video is about a year old and was done for a couple of friends whom were interested in using the Peco bullhead track hence this being a very quick first look type of presentation.

Around that time there were a few comments on forums and Facebook that it was fragile. I find and found this a peculiar comment. As you can see I bend and twist the point far more than you reasonably would and I’ve used it since regularly with no problems. I’ve also used the slips, crossings, large radius points and plain track without any issues.

I know many friends who model in EM/P4 (as I have in the past), and code 40 N finescale and 2mm finescale. One thing stands out, none of them think the track is fragile. They do however lay their track carefully and treat it with respect, it is finescale track after all, not mass production RTR ‘coarse’ track.

What spurred me to do this a year ago was the thought of what happens when you bend or twist this track. The answer is if you don’t go crazy it doesn’t break, so what are other modellers doing or how are they using it if it’s considered by them to be fragile?
