Just a heads up that in the past few weeks the RailBricks blog has taken off with a good post on Lego trains coming from any one of the contributors every couple of days. If things stay at this pace, for the Lego train fan it is worth a look at (...) (15 years ago, 19-Jul-09, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)

Mark, I've also seen people use the 2x2 turntable plate at strategic locations under curves to connect to base plates, with tiles to provide support where even the turntable doesn't line up.

By using a combination of tiles and plates, you can stick the straight, curve, and switch tracks to the baseplates quite nicely. You can (...) (15 years ago, 13-Jul-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
