Mark, <br />I'm guessing you're using sectional track, probably Atlas. If this is the case, take the lazy approach. Lay the track and hook it all up with rail joiners, then do a rough trace of the track and then remove the track and lay the cork. The reason I suggest this is you might find the track doesn't lay exactly as shown in the diagram. This way you'll know exactly what you are getting. <br /> <br />Another thing you can do, is with the track down... put dots in the center of the track all around where there is track, then connect the dots. This will give you your track center line, then lay the cork on the center line.
