Now that I am ready to resume actively building my layout, I want to avoid something that has always plagued me on past pikes: unwanted dips or bulges in the track, usually (but not always) at the joints. These never presented a serious problem when I ran mostly coal hoppers with B-B locomotives. But the 86-footers are very unforgiving - they come apart at the slightest hint of a change in track elevation. Whenever I have tried to correct one defect, another one seemed to spring up someplace else [banghead]. If there is any way I can learn to lay track the right way from the beginning - without having to join the Layout Design SIG - I'd love to hear about it.
