That's it.... must be smaller than a standard Radius 1 on that track.

I've seen that Hartland do or did a "barrel railroad" circle with exceptionally tight radius. (15", 32" outside diameter? Click and go track?)
I think I've seen it available without the trains, but at a price that wasn't appealing this side of the Atlantic.
Though given the time to produce smooth "microcircles" of G track, that may be a trade-off to be considered.

For anyone who is interested in one of these little cheap train sets, they're available now for $3 in the Christmas section at Wal-Mart.  Just picked up a few of them this evening.

Hmm missed this topic, thats actually my layout, I posted it here on the G scale or Micro layout section, one of them, its 3 foot square, the bottom is hand-layed track but the top is Aristo 21" diameter track, currently adding a short back and forth section on the side of it, try to post some pics once I get the auto reverser working.

They have those at our "Dollar Tree" one package has the track and the engine is in another pack. There is also a pack of straight track, for those who want to wander out of the pizza box.
