Having trouble with flex track

The problem is that flex track is springy. You bend it and it tries to bend back, and will, if nothing is holding it. Make your gaps on straight sections or use some pieces of fixed track (like I said, you can bend fixed track if you cut the ties). Then put your gaps in the fixed section (dont go less than 12" radius!) Also use CA glue to glue the track to the ballast. That way you can pin it with no glue and just drop glue on every few ties and it dries fast (use the very thin super glue). At least that is what works best on the foam ballast. Cork might be different.
