What about if we were to cut, GASP, some straight track? It's a long shot
and we'd have power problems but...


No, really not a big problem...just use low melt (either 60-40, or a real low
melt solder) to make electrical jumpers around the gaps.  If you do it right,
the gaps are fairly small anyway (hint, use a 2x8 plate as a cutting guide, and
a jewelers saw to cut the plastic, along with a dremel to cut the metal)

I think I have posted about how I make shortened track in .trains, perhaps a
look will give you some ideas.  It's not hard, but might be hard on the purist
:)

(...) Yes, I know how to do it. I'm also very proficient with a iron. It's a possible solution to the yard design hiccups. Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (24 years ago, 29-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
