Joined: 25/10/2021(UTC) Posts: 16 Location: The Highlands		Hi, I have an issue with track geometry. I'd like 4 parallel loops based on curves R2,3,4,5 all connected with points/turnouts. R2/3 are easy (2x24612 and straight 24177). But how do I connect R3 to R4 and R4 to R5? I don't want curved turnouts if at all possible (the curves are hidden and the turnouts are in a "station" area enabling - in theory - a train to cross from the R2 to the R5 loop). I am missing something (and I am sure it is something obvious...) so many thanks for anyone who can fill in the pieces. Tim

Using RailmodellerPro to do this and I don’t see it… Look in the catalogue at the track pages. It shows you there. You will need a combination of 24071, 24236 and 24229.
