Thought I'd throw this out there to get some ideas.
Bridging the gap between 2 modules. I've seen several methods, was wondering which are better, which are not so good.
1st one is in Dave Frary's "PRR Middle Division"- he builds 6" bridge tracks on masonite and drops them in between the roadbed, slides the rail joiners on and they look pretty good. The only drawback for me is I don't have a router to rout out the 1/4" slot for the masonite to drop in.
2nd one was in a Free-mo article in RMC a few months ago- short individual sections of rail held in place by the rail joiners. Looked pretty easy, but seems that even 2" individual pieces of rail could be problematic. I'm only guessing here, may work perfectly.
Would be interested to see what experiences everyone else has.
Thanks.
Joe
