What is the best way to lay flex track across a bridge? I have just about completed the Wathers double track truss bridge for my layout and am not sure how to lay the track across it. Also, any tips on guard rails to go between the tracks? Thanks for any suggestions and Merry Christmas to everyone. ------------------ Richard Turney
I believe Micro Engineering sells bridge flex track, which will have these guardrails. Otherwise, go out and buy some rail (only) which is smaller than your flex (for example, buy some code 70 rail if you're using Atlas code 80 flex), bend the ends together, and glue them to the ties, leaving enough space for the flanges. An NMRA guage would work good here. ------------------ Corey Lynch Pres - Rensselaer Model RR Society, NEB&W RR http://www.rpi.edu/~lynchc/Railfanning/railfanning.htm - My Site http://www.union.rpi.edu/railroad/ - NEB&W
If you have any trouble with metal rail guardrails... either finding needed size or getting electrical shorts from both wheel flanges touching common connected rail. Try some 'Plastic' T rail strips. They come in all sizes and about three feet long, can be painted and easy to glue down. They look just like rails.
