RE: (erielack) Superelevated curves on model railroads (was: Superelevation - cant deficiency

Usually, yes, both tracks would be superelevated independently. I've
always wondered this myself, however, since my layout will have a curved
crossover right on a superelevated curve. The way I'll approach it is
that I'll handlay the curved crossover on the same piece of homasote and
superelevate it as one unit, and then gradually drop the outer curve to
line up with the inner curve so they're both independently superelevated
and at the same height relative to each other.

Thoughts?
