Lying track

Unread postby Hwyranger » Thu Mar 08, 2012 2:19 pm

Hey Guys and Gals

when lying track, how do you get rid of the rail bumperes which pop up when placing new track or joining them together. They seam to bounce around at times and I spend more time attempting to eliminate them, then lying new track. Please any assistence will help.

Thank you all

If you're getting buffers between two pieces of track it means the two sections aren't joined properly. There are lots of things you can try eg. welding etc... and there are lots of tutorials on how it works but if there's one thing that makes laying track 100 times easier it's to start from one point and lay track in either direction. Don't bother trying to one area then another and join them up... it can be done but it's a massive time waster.

There are ScaleRail sections that do not have bumpers attached - look for those that are labeled "NB" (sorry - not much room for text).

Also, "NP" is "no portal" and "NG" is "no guardrail" (bridges) - I don't believe there are any other mysterious letters to decipher though.
