Possibly useful for NN3 narrow gauge, or just general insanity

Will be interesting ,similar to Tomix and Kato with built in trackbed.
Do not know what will go round that radius loco wise.

Toppings for Pizza layouts?  ;D

Combined with the existing radii I think you can probably get a 3 track line on a 9" pizza !

I don't know of any 0-4-0 Z gauge engines, but feasibly if you took one of the 0-6-0 tanks and  either filed the centre (or front) wheels flat or removed them it would probably go around. It might even handle that curve without modification too.

0-6-0 tanks need both outer axles because that is where the power wipers
are fitted.
Sounds like an experimemt might be needed. Have to try a bit of flexi track using
a CD as former just to see if my existing stock of chassis will negotiate that first

I believe the 8800 is flexible enough to do well under 45mm. Someone had a demo of one running around a large coin and one rail

Have one of those sitting on the side waiting for a N gauge body. :thumbsup:
