More track layin tips

[KevinKrey]

I am to a point where I can begin laying some track, but I cant remember what I was told when I asked some questions on the old forum about glueing down track, a lot of people dont if I recall, just tack and ballast and the ballast will do the trick. Anyway, for long curves longer than a piece of flextrack, whats the best way to make the curve and keep a nice smooth transition in the curve between the two pieces of track?

My other question is in my lumberyard scene I want the track to be "in ground", would it be better to cut a channel in the foam board base to set the track into, or somehow build up the ground around the track?
