Are you building me the three extra modules I now need? :)
I'm going to try and figure out a way to fit my track out.

Well, it's really rather useful to have cordless tools. The jigsaw is by
far the nicest because you don't fear cutting your own cord, or having to
have a dedicated table saw and maneouvre pieces into place. I hate fighting
the cord.

I believe putting the track at 36 dots in from the edge, ie, the track
centered evenly between roadplates, works nicely from the Town point of
view. The track geometry point of view is well, not so nice.

They're still trouble on the inner corners as JeffVW has pointed out.
