Hi, again...
I don't have problems ALL the time, but once in a while I have a
question: While joining, soldering and gluing track to cork roadbed
using silicone sealer w/extra strong adhesion, I found a joint that
must have slipped....the two track-ends are WITHIN the confines of the
rail joiner, but with a space of about 1/16" .
I would like to know how critical that would be for running trains over
it, and what would be the best way to correct it without UNDOING all my
hard work. I was thinking of just several layers of solder and filed
smoothly to form the rail contour. Or, placing a tiny piece of rail,
carefully, in that opening and soldering it in. Or, just leave the
darned thing alone!
Gosh I hate when these things happen because I tend to lose sleep over
them!
