One of the advantages of transition era modeling--after track is installed, cut a miniscule gap every scale 39' for prototype appearance, and you have built in expansion joints!

The J1 did not just spread the rails! But that is what it looked like. After clearing out all the trains I had more wonky track! What gauge is this anyway? (:->) This is at the same section joint I had to fix the bowing main line tracks yesterday. I guess I should have not soldered it all in. They are mostly “bridge rails’ like in S-Mod. I now have 1 end without solder so it can float and slip instead of bowing out of gauge. A lot of my curves are all soldered. I have not seen moment in them yet. I might have to hire a crew of track walkers to inspect the line before I can run the railroad!
