If anybody has better ideas for linking blue rails to the RC rails, I’ll be
happy to see them.

Looks pretty good. Have you tried using a jumper plate? I don’t know
exactly how far apart the blue and bley rails are, but it looks to be almost
a half-stud. Could you put a jumper plate on the 2x8s holding the blue rails
on, a 1x1 plate on the bley rail, and a 1x3 (or 1x4) to hold them together?
Or is the gap just a little smaller than a half stud width?

Works perfectly! The train runs very smoothly over this link. On one side there
is still an indentation in the new gray rail, but on the other the gray and blue
rails line up perfectly. Here is the construction:
However, when since the 1x3 plates are only mounted on 4 1x1’s, they can rotate
a bit and misalign the rails. A 1x8 plate or tile connected to more studs on the
new rail solves the problem.
Thanks a lot, Sivan

It looks like 2 pair of jumper plates on the RC track and a pair of 1x2 plates
on the old track would be even more rigid.

No problem, glad it worked. A smaller option to help secure the rails would be
to move the jumper plate to the bley rails, and replace the 1x1 plate with a
1x2, attaching it to the blue rails. You should be able to use a 1x4 plate or
tile to connect the rails together, and it should prevent the rails from
slipping.
