Thanks Wayne......This thread should impress anyone the importance of laying track carefully the first time.

I have learned the hard way that when joining flex track sections look at the joint from several directions to assure you don't have a kink. Testing with locos is good but as has been said some locos have their own pecularities and you don't know until you buy one. Needless to say steamers are the most demanding.

I will keep you in mind for the Peco turnouts Brian. Thanks for the link Wayne, good reading.

That is a way in which to link to a subject thread, but is there a way to link to a 'particular posting' within any subject thread?

While it's not a link, probably the best way to make direct reference to that post would be to open it in another tab, reply to it, then quote it, as I have done with your last post. 
You'd then copy the whole shebang, erase it from, and then close the second tab, and paste it in the thread where you wish it to appear.

It doesn't seem possible to link to a particular post in a thread, so if you did as I suggest above, it would probably be a good idea to include a link to the thread, too.
The way I've always done that is to right click on the thread's title, then select "Copy Link Location".  In your composition window here, type-in the word "url" without the quotation marks and preceded by a square bracket and followed by the equal sign.  Then, without a space, "paste" the data which you copied, and then add  the other square bracket.
You can then add the word or phrase you wish to appear as the actual link.  I often use the word LINK, or the thread's actual title, but pretty-much whatever you want will suffice.  Follow that with [/url].

The example immediately below has the first square bracket spaced away from url, which illustrates all of the stuff needed, but won't work as a link because of the incorrect placement of that first bracket.

[ url=http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/11/t/267548.aspx]LOOK HERE[/url]

With the space eliminated, it shows up like this:
