Well I finally got a chance to lay some track and I just wanted to say thanks for all the replies. I have really nice flat head wood screws I got from Dave Heikle a while back when I was going to do the 3rail thing.
I took Ed Kelly's advice about only elevating my mainline curves a 1/16". I decided to try the N scale cork route and it worked pretty well. I layed out the angle of the track to find what degree the track would sit at with 1/16" under the outside rail so I could bevel the cork so the track wouldn't be sitt on just the corner of the cork.
I beveled the cork at 2 degrees which is what I found with laying it out. I set my saw for 2 degrees and used double stick tape to hold it on a piece of wood to be able to run it through the saw. I did the same thing with the begining of the turn, except the piece of wood was cut on a angle from 0-1/8 over the 36" length of the cork and the saw was still beveled at 2 degrees. I lost the first few 6" of the cork but it left me with a 30" lead into the turn. I don't have pics of all my jigs, I'll have to get some posted.
But I do have pics of the track. Hope to get further soon.
