Track Laying

why don't you use the 22" track as a template and try laying flex on the outside edge, that should give you a reasonably smooth curve, and look better than your curve /straight combo. you can also try making your own compass by using a stick and cut it 26" long, drill a hole 1" from each end, find the center of curve and nail one end in center and use pencil to draw radius, with a little practice you'll have smooth curves. there are also some metal (I believe) radius guides for curves. yes elevate outer rail.
