It has been a long time in gestation, and in fact started out being something very different until the lightbulb went on!
While the design work is pretty much completed now, we still face a major challenge of how to package the system. For sure each PlatForm piece will be available a la cart style, but we think that most people would prefer to purchase kits. The problem is, what goes in a kit? We have pretty much concluded that we will create PlatForm kits that will include enough pieces to construct a full loop for each radius, but what about other types of trackwork? Should we kit up easement pieces with switches? Maybe a couple of straight sections as well?
One idea that I think is pretty interesting is creating a complete kit of PlatForm pieces for a complete layout. Perhaps select a number of popular layout designs in different scales and then create a complete kit of PlatForm pieces needed to create the whole layout. I think this would give many modelers a real head start in getting their layout up and running as quickly as possible - even the more complex designs.
Definitely open to suggestions here!
