Thank you for your offer, but like I said, I'll manage somehow. I'll probably need a few straight rails and some old 45-degree curved tracks for my new project, but it won't happen overnight anyway. So, I'm good. Thanks again!

By the way, I'm lately buying only staff from the EU: the shipping prices from America or Japan and my local VAT (25%) are killing my wish to shop anywhere else. For example, if I buy $9.99 new motorized AEG Emily from Amazon US, I would pay $86.10 with all the shipping and taxes.

Judging by the photos, you have some nice things there! Every company that produces trains should (continue) to produce such accessories. It's a shame that Mattel (for now) is going the other way.

Yup, I remember. The Water Tower sets are a good example. There was one Water Tower Set with Thomas and another with Percy, if I'm correct. With Thomas' Water Tower set, you could build a right angle. The set contained old 45-degree curved tracks. Behind Thomas, we can see a 90-degree (right angle) curve built with two small 45-degree curved tracks (TM2 CS tracks):

With Percy's track set you mentioned, one couldn't do that any more. Here we have only new TM2 60-degree C tracks:

AEG uses only 60-degree C-tracks as curves (curved slopes have the same angle).
