Always Fixing Track?
#8
I super-elevated my outside rails on the curves for two reasons...first, I am hoping my engineers stick to the posted speed limit - and when they don't - the super elevation should help the engines stick to the rails better with applied physics. And secondly, it just looks cool. Those may not be the best reasons...but I don't mind. I used very thin styrene cut to the radius and laid under the outside rail to tilt the entire snap-track or flex track section just a bit. I figured, the styrene is water proof, won't expand when I add glue and ballast, and I can control it's thickness by using the same pieces throughout the layout.
