Elevation Track Tips
• When you have a curved track at the bottom of a ramp assembly, be sure to
use a guardrail on the curve. This keeps the fast moving train on the track!
• To attach the guardrail, fit a tab on one end of the guardrail under the curved
track, as shown.
• Bend the guardrail slightly to fit the other two tabs to the curved track.
You can stack up support
column assemblies to make
a higher track layout.
To properly support elevated
tracks, always make sure you
have support columns under
track connections.
