LeifSpangberg Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Waiting for the coming (??) larger radius curves in Metal, I have started to modify some tracks to 1/2 curves & straights, 3/4 straights, switches etc etc in order to have some smoother curves, following the guidelines from OnDrew J Hartigan. So,now it is time to build a bunch of 1/4 straights. He writes "the only time you shouldn't remove the metal rail is track sections shorter than 5 studs"... My question is, how to modify the metal rail, to make it have a good connection to the other tracks ?? If this question has been discussed i this forum earlier, I would appreciate a link. /Leif Quote
kieran Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Not sure of a link but I just then the middle section out, glue the track on the underside and solder the top rail. Then file down if rough Quote
LeifSpangberg Posted May 14, 2014 Author Posted May 14, 2014 .... and solder the top rail. Then file down if rough Thanks for your solution. But I was thinking more of a way without soldering, after all it's plastic stuff, and I don't know if the plastic is going to bend or melt or whatever ... Maybe I should try to connect a 1/4 piece of straight rail with a halv curve to make the same final size ( 1/2 curve + 1/4 straight track) ?? Or wait for the ME-project to come avaiable, and save my straight metal tracks, for better purposes /Leif Quote
