Thanks for the information.  I will have to do some experimenting.

use a mixture of plates and tiles.  i was amazed how many plates you can
actually use since the track does not cover the stud part of the 1x1
plate.  i think there are six 1x2 tiles and 3 2x2 tiles under that one
curved section.  you could probably do it with less though.
