<P>I have not made it out to get the gauge yet. And I am using cheap solder</P> <P>You are saing that the distance between the rails can change even though the plastic ties have the rails clipped to them? I am having more luck with the flex track, than with the smaller pieces that I got to begin with. </P> <P>My track is laid on top of black foam road bed, on top of 2" styrofoam insulation board. Right now it is held down with pins for sewing. there is also no banking in the corners. The train seems to run well except these two places. </P> <P>The track is powered in only 1 place, Sounds like I need more power suppled? Also the wire from the controller is small, should it be larger? And the train does not move until the controller gets to about 25% power. Is that normal?</P> <P>thanks for all of the help.</P> <P> </P>
