If the modules are made only for your convenience, then you can make them to whatever standard you want. So cuts on a curve are ok. What is the purpose of joining them? Rail joiners are not strong enough to keep the whole module in alignment, and are not reliable enough for conducting electricity from one module to the next. So... If you get them lined up properly, you should clamp the modules together with C-clamps. You can also run a bus under the layout with feeders to the rails to provide power. Put a plug in the bus that will allow you to diconnect when you take the modules apart. Sorry if this seems obvious. Hope it is helpful... Andrew
