the biggest problem most people have with track is being in a hurry to get it down. this leads to lots of problems and heartache. there are multiple sources of information for laying track, almost every article on layout construction in MR has some info on track laying. no matter what track you lay, what system you use for fastening track or what you use for roadbed, the best advice I can give is to not be in a hurry. take your time, be careful, do it right the first time. do not proceed with the next section of track until you are absolutely pleased with the section you are working on. take about 2 to 3 times longer than you think you need and get it right. no squeezing, kinking or hurrrying to force things to fit. it just won't work. i always run my lightest cars (hand pushed) back and forth over each section of track i lay until things are smoooooth. you hurry, you get what you deserve. <br /> <br />steam is king
