Stack mate; you have come to the right place and i agree with you, buy in all the hard stuff i do, and it works for me. This is so much more versatile way of doing things; until you do it you cannot imagine it. <br /> <br />I actually buy my track in kit form from our club, rail is same as LGB but with a bit more zinc in it and it comes in 3.69 m (12') lengthe and 24 of them fit nicely into a 35 mm dia plastic water pipe. <br /> <br />The sleepers (ties) come in an ingeneous assembly of 3 that seem to remain properly spaced all by themselves around bends. <br /> <br />I am pretty good at this now and claim to have stuffed up more than anyone else, i have 130 metres of track down (420 feet) now and some of the problems ive had not getting the two tracks exactly parallel and this inrroduces strains in the assembly causing twists which affect your camber have to be seen to be believed. But it is less than half the price, more versatile etc, wouldn't do it any other way. I also solder all joins, with a jewellers blowtorch <br /> <br />I think doing what you want to do, having some nice jigs would be a wise move, before you start. <br /> <br /> <br />Regards <br /> <br />Ian
