ho track

[stello]

I have had good luck cutting EZ Track to fit the lengths needed for my layout. I have cut both straight and curved sections with a hobby track saw and found if I trimmed the tabs off the uncut section and glued the newly cut and uncut sections together, complete with rail joiners, I had a secure, smooth track section. This has helped in supplying custom fit lengths. Of course, it won't give you the total fudge factor of flex track.

Sae the EZ-Track, use it in hidden areas, yards or other places you don't need to have more control over. no sense in trying to sell something that you'll take a loss on.

Put your Ez track on E-Bay and sell There is alway's someone looking for it.

You could put an ad in MR or RMC to sell the EZ track. I don't know whether the cost of the ad would be more than the worth of the track, but it would be better than throwing it away.

Thanks for the advice, I will attempt to read some more and try what you mentioned.
I find the EZ track limits some of the layout design and connections are sometimes a problem.

Only, and only for straight sections. For curves, you need to trim the inside rail on every piece. One method that works on curves is to start laying a piece, then about 6" from the end, while the end is still straight, trim the two rails even, and solder on the next piece of flex, then continue. This will automatically stagger the rail joints, as is USA practice.

I am basically a novice with HO layout, but have tried some at school with
students I teach. I purchased Bachmann EZ track and have encountered some
difficulty. I am contemplating trying the atlas flex track for a layout, in terms of
cutting, can I limit the amount to be cut by placing many three foot sections together, then cut at one end, and what is the best way to sell all the EZ track
I purchased last year. Thanks for assistance, Warren
