Do you have painters tape down there or are you just using the tan masking tape? Nice color.


Today I have been working on customizing some and creating new rails for the layout. I have created some rigid 3/4 and 2 1/4 length track. Have also solved the problem of the sagging using the double length straight rails. If you have used these on elevated sections you know that some tend to sag in the middle. So much so that at times if a train runs under the sagging rail at the same time as one above it can flick the motor switch on the train below off or cause a derail. Plus they don't look very good sagging causing the train to ride up and down over the pillars. These 2x rails are great for eliminating too many risers cluttering up the layout and gives more visibility to the layout. Will post a few pictures soon of the modifications I came up with.
