Great comments, Galen. I am going to redo those s-curves and go with #2 above. As has been mentioned, unless there is some feature to require those "offsets, there will be the thought of "why are those curves necessary?"
I have to admit that my lack of artistry is sometimes due to laziness. But, it also stems from my desire to have a "down and dirty" industrial railroad. Instead of photogenic curves wandering amongst majestic mountains and spanning rocky streams, I am looking for a more utilitarian feel - nitty gritty operation and cluttered industrial areas. On that, I think the track needs to be rather straight-forward and simple.
Thanks for the comments and thoughts, they do help. Please keep'em coming!
