We are also seniors and have the same situation on our line. <br />This is what I am thinking will work. Place two short brass rods into the underside of the lift-out section on each end. Then drill matching holes into the permanent roadbed on each end. Insert a brass pipe sized to fit the brass rods into the holes to act as receivers. If you are running track power, solder wires from the brass rods to the rails on the lift-out section and do the same on the permanent roadbed, This should give you automatic hook-up of the track power. <br /> <br />A set up like this should line up the rails and energize the rails all at once. <br /> <br />Clear as mud? <br /> <br />OLD DAD
