I am am trying to understand how to join the sections of felx track together. Is there a secret...I seem to be all thumbs. The spacers do not readly go on the track. Is their a trick or helpful hint you can give?

You need to trim off at least one tie on each section of track so you can pu***he rail joiners on. Save the ties you trim off, after you lay the track you can slide the ties under the track so you don't end up with gaps.

Don't forget to file or carve out the tie for clearance from the rail joiner. Instead of removing the tie you can also cut the clearance under the rail for the joiner. If you haven't already bought a Zuron rail nipper, do so, makes life easier. Solder the rail joiners before bending the track on curves.
