Laying Track The Easy Way

Edwyn has a question for readers:

“I find track laying a pretty demanding chore at best. But the additional tedium of separating strips of rail joiners and then removing any ‘tongues’ and then hoping like mad that the joiners will fit, only adds to much of the frustration. Has anybody got any suggestions how to simplify this procedure for me?”

If you cut the joiners from the strip with scissors there is no burr and I cut the track with a moto tool and cut off disk leaving a clean end Have laid more than a thousand feet this way in the last 30 years trouble free!
