A curve #

Creating a precise curve (circular arc) is similar to straightening a piece of track.

  • Set the angle and the radius of the curve.

An easement #

An easement provides a smooth transition between a straight and a curve. Real railways always use them to avoid wear and tear, and to permit higher speeds. They also increase passenger comfort.

  • Set the angle and the radius of the easement. Don’t forget to indicate whether it’s a left or right easement.
