HO 8X 12' L shape layout. about 12 switchs, 2 small yards. I admit I am something of a nut case when it comes to smooth operation. I probably take way too much time with track and switches. Not only do I not have derailments, but go crazy spending the time to smooth out the switches and rail joints. Am I the only one???? <br /> <br />Does it hurt anything to FILE the rail joints smooth once they are together? I then further smooth them with a fine black sand paper. I don't want to hear any noise when the train runs over the joints. <br /> <br />Am I too nutso over this or do I have company lol <br /> <br />DON River Rat Junction R&R <br /> <br />
