Superelevation can look great when used with easements. The change for superelevation should begin with the start of the easement and reach it's maximum with the start of the fixed radius. I don't have experience with the high center of gravity mentioned by the previous reply as I model the 50's and place my weight as low as possible in the cars. <br />An advantage of superelevation is that it effectivly increases the radius of the curve. <br />I personally like superelevation and if used properly it should not cause any problems. I use a 30" minimum radius mainline and the club I belong to uses a 54" minimum for double track mainline.
