Yes, there will be a small gap in the track(s) where the two modules meet but this should not be a huge concern, as long as the trains go through without any issues.

I dont know exactly what track you are useing but what I did (and if this sounds too simple or you are already doing this) I slid the track joiners onto one side of each track, joined the 2 modules and then slid the joiners onto the opposite side of each track. looking back at your question it sound like this is what you are doing….If this is not good enough and you plan on leaving the modules together “FOREVER?????” then just solder them together. I left mine with the joiners so I could separate the modules and move it and put it back together, this seemed to work very well but each time I joined them I used new joiners. Tony P
