The Bachmann track that now on the market is a good indoor small diameter track.  I know a number of people that have indoor large scale layouts that use it.

The new 20.32 equipment says: 'Minimum 8' diameter curved track required'
or: 'This locomotive performs best on curves with a minimum 8' (1600 mm) diameter'.

Is there a chance that Bachmann will be bring out its own track that this equipment can run on, even if it is not 100% compatible with the older track?

One problem area most large scale track on the market has right now is the ability to do double crossovers.  'Y' turnouts for doing reversing 'Y's in the 8 to 10 foot diameter area would be nice to have.

A 'terminal' track for electrical connections in the new track line would be a good item as well as in 'insulated terminal' similar to the LGB 10152 for doing blocks, reversing loops and detections for signaling.
