Fast Tracks

I have a question.Using the Fast Tracks curved trace fixtures, how do you achieve an easmenr from the curve to the straight?

I had the same question floating around my head a while back, and I figure you can just leave off a couple of the pcb ties off the end of the curve where it will join with the tangent, and just let it assume a natural easement. There should be enough "slack" for the track to be fastened down to the wood ties following the easement.

I would suggest the last few PC ties be soldered ONLY on one side. Once your track is laid in place and the easement is gently formed - then solder the other side and set the wooden ties. Having all the PC ties soldered and trying to form the easement would create kinks and tend to twist the rails.
