Kinks In Track

Model railroaders might want to try the “Odegard Squint,” named after famous model railroader Gordon Odegard (might be Odegaard). Just stand at one end of the layout and look at the track is at eye-level. Squint your eyes, and make sure all the track looks straight and there are no kinks or foreign objects on or near the track. Works every time!
