Hello everybody,
I have two problems two solve that I imagine many of you guys solved years
ago. I used the Lugnet search engine but wasn't able to find the tricks...
1) How can I electrically insulate a section of tracks, I mean two adiacent

2) How do I put two tracks very close each other without linking them, as to

Thanks in advance for your patience
