You didn't say how you were cutting your track, but the two traditional methods are 1) Dremel, or some other cheaper brand of rotary tool with cut off wheel and 2) track cutting tool like Xuron. <br /> <br />With the ties, there are a number of ways you can fill in the blank. Most re-use the ties that have been cut from the end as mentioned. <br /> <br />For the gap in your track, this requires a little more courage but really isn't that big a deal. I buy strip styrene, two thickness and very narrow, like the width of a soft drink staw, or maybe narrower. I think will "super glue" in a strip, trim it with whatever will cut it - I use a sprue trimmer, but other tools will work. I then file the strip of styrene down to conform to the track profile - sounds hard, but it is easy. Run your finger nail over the joints to confirm they are smooth.
