Here are a couple of layouts shown in the Lionel magazine that I would love to create.

Did anyone else try these in RRTrack?

From what I can tell, they don't fit as shown. Maybe they could be bent/fudged to work, but for either them to work smoothly, you'd need to cut several "fitters".

Not a big deal, I just don't get why flawed are published instead of showing it properly.

What I'd like to know is how does one score a piece of the 20th Century Limited red carpet? I read that they used to roll that out for passengers and it's where the term "red carpet treatment" was born. Very nice presentation and history, thanks for posting!
