Yes, helps a lot, thanks! I guess the trick is finding a good way to narrow the
rail profile. Since it isn’t worth modding the simple straights and curves, any
tool would have to fit within the flange profile to avoid begin fouled by wing
rails, etc. found on complex trackwork. I keep trying to think up some kind of
Dremel tool jig or such, but so far nothing comes to mind. Maybe a guide and a
very small diameter bit that fits in the flange-way.
Anyway, thanks for chiming in. I’ve been looking at your work, I want to try
doing the popular turn-out mod.
