As far as my design is going:- I think the Peco double curve turnout has been slightly better than Hornby, although there is not a lot in it really in terms of derailments. And I have proved by literally hours of juggling with the full sized pieces that it is impossible to do what I wanted with standard radius componants. It sort of works, but all my track joints have that irritating 1mm gap between the rails on one side.

I think Swisstrains had the best advice early on in this thread......forget the maths and get some flexitrack and just bend it till it looks right. Good tip. I'll remember next time.
