(...) No, curves are 22.5 degrees. If you give Track Designer bitmaps at 0, 22.5, 45 and 67.5 degrees it can generate all the other possible rotations. However, the existing registry only has track at all these rotations, road plates, monorail[1] (...) (26 years ago, 17-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.dev)
