Hey there. Super elevation is used on mainline track that helps keep the trains on track at higher speeds. It simply put is like a auto race track were the turns are angled / elevated so the cars can maitain there speed. The same is done to the track were the outside rail is higher than the inside rail so the train can maintain its speed. Just not done to the extreme of the auto track. Not sure how they figure it out. When I did it on my HO layout, I used 16th inch balsa strips about an 8th inch wide and put them under the every outside edge of the ties, and this worked pefect for my application. Hope I answered that OK for you..............Jamie
