THANK YOU!!! This works perfectly!

(...) Does it work perfectly or does it go over in length by at least a half a stud? I couldn't tell from Track Designer. -chris (21 years ago, 14-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I don't have an equation, but I think one curve, 12 straights, one curve will do a dog-leg that is eight 32-stud baseplates long and 88 studs wide (3 baseplates minus 4 studs each side). -chris (21 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)
