Eugen <br />Thanks for the kind reply. Sorry for the delayed acknowledgement, but I've been away for a few weeks. It worked beautifully. I used a 20 gauge copper wire, stretched it straight between a vice and a pair of pliers and used a 1/2 inch circle (plastic cigar tube) to get the desired bend in the "track" I needed. Once I got the placement measured on the loading deck, it was easy to place the two wires in parallel to simulate 18" guage track. Laying the planking was fun. I used a piece of birch veneer (1/32" to simulate a 2" thick plank), cut it to scale 2x10" planking, 12' long. I've been mulling over a solution to this track problem for almost 2yrs. It's over finally and it looks great. Thanks again for your helpful reply.
