I use LGB track clips to keep my LGB track sections together. The end ties on many sections of track now have cracks in the ties (after many years of use).I have a few model train related adhesives such as Tenax 7R and Bondine as well as a few others... would any of these work to fix the cracks?What have others done to address this issue?
My ties cracked after months of service using these clips. I have considered, but not employed, simply gluing a piece of scrapwood to the underside of the ties. I am not sure what glue I would use, though, given the dissimilar materials.

Mark, I used some wood scraps and "Gorilla glue" on a test piece. I put the strips in the hollow underside of the tie, glued it, and clamped it over night. Seems to work. Meanwhile, I am removing those LGB track clips as I see them to prevent more breaks.
Aloha,
Eric
