Attaching Straight Tracks at An Angle

[azrudy]

Hey guys,

Sorry if this topic  has been posted before but I can't seem to find it.I know that L-Gauge provides a guide on how to attach ballasted straights and various curves/switchs on baseplates. I'm asking if there is a source/guide on how to attach angled straight tracks as opposed to just laying it on a plate? 

I picked an example from Bananenbuurman (attached).

Do you just place them on tiles? 

Cheers

@azrudy From personal experience, it is much less of a headache to use only tiles under diagonal straight sections. There are attachment points that do exist at certain intervals, but not many are well documented (to my knowledge). The best place I can suggest to look is in the MILS flickr group.

Cheers for that. I reckon tiling would work too. Attachment points can be quite tricky and I assume this involves jumper tiles.

Long time ago I found this image to help with attaching curves.

With a bit of high-school math and Excel or Google Sheets you can work out connection points...

Yeah thats for the curve which is fine, the angled straights are abit trickier.
