Additionally, it looks like the jag in the left rail is due to the
perspective on the picture of a regular piece of track resulting in a
size difference when the track is shortened (it even seems like the jag
may be a bit more pronounced on the 1/4 track sections as compared to
the 1/2 track section).

| (...) looks (...) I just blew these up in my image editor and can say with certainty that the three most obvious cuts are: 1) perpendicular (sp?) to the rail, and 2) in the exact same place for all three track parts!! Will (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
