Jerry has track problems and wants help from readers:

“The track I installed has a kink in the track. What should I do to get the kink out? Is there a tool I can buy to take the this kink out?”

If its HO and a small kink use you coupler hose pliers—Go very.very slow and be very, very, careful If its another gauge use the right pliers for that gauge. Best regards ~AlanC.
P.S. Practice on scrap rail first!

Don’t mess about cut or replace that section of track otherwise you will get derailments its not worth messing about, that goes for any gauge.we that is our club model in all gauges from n gauge British to gauge 1.
