N Scale 90° turns

I'm relatively new at this, having built one small layout.  I'm now building a larger layout on an L-shaped table.  There are two 90° turns that I want to make, but I'm afraid the curved EZ Track I have now will not work.  I have the 11 1/4" R 30° curve. It looks like the curve won't match the straight track on either side.

(3) sections of 11.25' curve equals a 90-degree turn...

As the track radius increases...so do the number of sections it takes to make a 90...but they always make a 90-degree turn

My layout has every radius from 11.25" to 19" in a L-shape...

You just need to adjust the lengths using shorter or longer sections until the curves match

Beginner's Hint:  Lay out the curves first...then add straight sections to connect to them
