Oh it'd be cut. Let me tell you that cutting a 9v straight track along it's
length is very hard and time consuming. The strength of the track is in
it's ties and the area b/w the ties. Once you start cutting that off, the
track becomes very weak. With a hacksaw and some sandpaper, and a little
patience, I got all the way thru. I also had to file down the nubs on the
4.5 crossing so the track can lay down flat on the bottom. I might silicone
the track and the crossing together for they cannot work separately anymore.
Anyway, you'll see it at the next train show (or dinner).
