    I got my banked track or super elevated track in place on my show layout. No problem going from straight track right into banked track. the bank track holds the straight at the interface to super elevated height at and if you hold straight track down tight to base at the opposite end of the straight it transitions to super elevated gradually along its length works for 220 or 110 straight. You can see the trains roll into curve and out of it nicely. Quite impressive. I think I would not go from a turnout right into banked track but would put in a 110mm straight between turnout and banked curve. Even at 3 foot viewing distance it is quite noticeable. at the show I did not say anything about the banked track and many picked up the roll into the curve very quickly and commented on it. The adjacent oval track was R245 mm without the bank and the inside that was an oval track with R220 mm banked or super elevated curves. Now to install the R195 super elevated inside the oval of R 220 mm curved track. The Shinkansen at speed was awesome to see on the super elevated.

    regards Garth
