Using spline roadbed will automatically give you curve easements. I have done the superelevation thing with mixed results. Too much superelevation and the train tends to tip and/or come off the rails on the inside of the curve. Like a previous fellow stated, the trains look super rounding a curve on superelevated track. I limit the superelevation to a 1/16" shim (max) under the outside rail. I personally do not think superelevation will help with stuffing a large locomotive through a small radius curve, but that is just my opinion. <br /> <br />Keep the steam up. <br /> <br />Tom
