Our modular club has also had problems with long cars. The modules were built with foam as a base to save weight. We have found that when some of the members constructed them that they used adhesives with solvents in them that, over a long period of time, caused the foam to slowly desolve. This resulted in what we call a "ski jump" at the joint. While the joint itself may line up, the track goes slightly down hill as you progress toward the center of the module. We are having to rebuild these modules to eliminate this problem. Keep in mind that many of these modules are over ten years old. <br /> <br />Check that your tracks are flat for a distance on both sides of the joint. <br /> <br />Doug
