QUOTE: Originally posted by rrinker If the gap is at a track joint, I just use insulated joiners. The Atlas ones are clear, not some silly bright orange like their old N scale ones used to be. Otherwise - use a cutoff wheel in a Dremel, the width of the cutter is plenty of space. A small piece of styrene can be glued into the gap and, once the glue is dry, trim it down and file it to the rail profile. Gaps should be nearly adjacent, a little bit either way won't matter, but don't gap one rail and then gap the other a foot down the line. I would try not to have any open gaps on curves, that's asking for kinked rail. --Randy
