    The T-Trak-Z standard uses Rokuhan track which is exactly like Kato Unitrack. I however found sectional track with non NP Railroad tie spacing offensive, so I choose to use Atlas flextrack. I am beveling the rails like you find on a turntable bridge and approach track for joinerless module connections. I also am using a 6mm dowel pin centered under the two main rails for alignment, and I have installed 92 pound pull magnets on one side of each module with a large fender washer on the other end of the modules to align them.

    Here is a video showing the fit with alignment pin and magnet:

    I'm getting there. A month ago I had zero ore cars. Now I have 136 of them. Two types, natural ore cars and extended side taconite cars. I have 16 Taconite cars and about 115 of the other. The dilemma is that I have three decal sets for the natural ore cars and dozens of sets for the Taconite cars, what to do?
