Yes, of course... Hi Russ, Yes, of course... I forget the evils of RTR track. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I hand lay, so I can pre-bend all the rail before spiking to eliminate kinks.

Try Crimping Hi Steamhead, Try getting a small pair of needle nose pliers to the rail joiner and giving a little squeeze. This should crimp the rail-joiner and re-establish electrical contact with the rails.

Bus Wire and Drops Howdy Mountain Man, The Bus Wire is 12AWG with 18AWG Drop Wires.

I wouldn't bother to solder the rail joints. Even though the NS rail is an improvement over brass, it still isn't the best electrical conductor. With Free-MOn30 modules, there is a heavy bus-wire running the length of the layout and every section of rail has a feeder. We actually...

Loading Gauge Hi Kevin, Take a look at WIKIPEDIA: Loading Gauge. Or google Loading Gauge for more information... There are limits to what will fit under bridges and through tunnels. In the West Toronto Junction, Canadian Pacific had the city remove the Old Weston Road Bridge over...

Wax Paper - History Lesson... On the subject of language: Is that Wax Paper or Waxed Paper? :p I think that yellow or white glue will stick to the dull side of the Waxed Paper, but not so well to the shiny Waxed side. As far as using it for windows. It depends on the era that you are...
