I know that Bachmann makes and sales large scale tracks (12 in. and 14 in. curve and straight track, individually sold and in package form of 4 tracks to a package); however, do they or have they considered making 6 in. straight or curved track as "O" guage does for those who do not have a large amount of space for a train layout. Maybe they should consider doing this and getting in ahead of the other train companies.
There's not much of a market for Bachmann track since its indoor use only. The O scale market is probably 10 times what large scale is. Its mostly for around the Christmas tree and a few indoor layouts. Though you can make it do interesting shapes if you play around with it enough -

Great job on the station, I loved your blog on it. I did'nt even know lindberg made any G Scale stuff!!
Dear Bill,
I agree with you, this is very impressive work! Brian has given me several ideas how to build structures for my eventual garden rr.
On another note, if you get to ECLSTS this year, give me a ring!
Best Wishes to All!
