How to join 4wide track curve to straight/

[awamech]

Hello,  I have searched google and this forum but I am having trouble joining the 4 wide track curved pieces to the straight long rails.  There does not seem to be a straight piece made, why I dont know.  I have seen pics of trains running from curved to straight pieces but it seems to be a half of a stud off when I try to connect them.  this is what I mean, any help would be appreciated. Thanks Scott ( had posted a picture but dont see it here)

Hi Scott, welcome to EB and Train Tech!

You are talking about:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=85976&name=Train, Track Plastic, Narrow, Curve&category=[Train, Track]#T=C

and trying to connect it to something like this

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3228b&name=Train, Track Slotted Rail Straight&category=[Train, Track]#T=C

I suppose?

I thing you should have a look at this: 

 

There are variations possible of course! Would that help? We are of course interested to see your own results! Maybe use something like Flickr or some other image sharing platform to host the pictures on and link it then, that should work!

Thanks, that jumper and tiles will do it, I think. Very creative, Thanks Scott
