Milo Spouts Off: <br /> <br />Trevor: <br /> <br />The problem with E-Z Track - and really, with any track, is the joints. If you take care of the joints, examine them carefully to make certain that the joiner didn't slip _under_ the rail, and then solder, you'll still have the problem that there's a joint every 5 inches. I use a lot of flextrack because, the longer the run, the fewer the joints, and the fewer problems. On the other hand, if you don't mind all those joints, and you're using fairly good equipment -- diesels generally run better than steam, all other things being equal -- then the ticky-ticky-clackety-clack of running over all those joints can be kinda fun. <br /> <br />Hope your project comes out GREAT!! <br /> <br />-- Milo -- <br />- End Of Spout -
