(...) I used an exacto saw to remove the metal contact 'nib' from the joint. I put a red 1x2 tile on that piece so I don't lose it (in all my other track). I learned the hard way - trying to find a piece of track among a huge pile! (...) I sawed off (...) (25 years ago, 28-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)
