HELP!!!What is the best way to connect two tracks with curves?

[ChemRailFan]

I try to connect two tracks laid in different direction with curves, but always got an ugly connection, so is there any better way to do this? Or use junction, then how do I just delete the part of junction with lever and keep the rest? Thank you!

Another question, I found there's a "get radius'' button, so is it possible to adjust the radius of a curve?

If you want to make track laying easier, search for the many track templates on the DLS. I don't have the names handy at the moment but I use them quite a bit and they help. They're available for plenty of different radius.

If you have a left curve connected straight to a right, try putting a short piece of straight between them, then use the straighten track tool on it. In other words, lay the first curve, small straight, then the next curve and hit the small straight with the straighten track tool.

Hope that makes sense.

A more precise question, perhaps with a small screenshot, might elicit more helpful advice.

in an "S" curve, a small straight section of track, in between the curves, helps avoid kinks and woopdeedoo's.

A small straight section of track should be on all both ends of all curves.

Turnouts are likewise.
