Hi John,

I've only been to 3 track-laying sessions so far, but to-date my experience has been that it's easier to bend it (with lots of leverage) than to keep it bent.  The ties don't really provide much location until they are ballasted.

The rail we're using is a bit beat up, so we've been orienting it so that some of it is already pre-bent in the right direction.  It's a lot of work to move it around (the stuff is -really- heavy), but it makes getting it to conform to the curve easier.

Cheers,
Jeff.
