A layout designer/builder in the US recommends off-setting the rail joints, especially on curves as it stops the natural tendency of the track to want to spring back out. Does the re-spacing of the sleepers stop this as the webbing is no longer there? Also would it not be even more prototypical now that rail joints (on the mainlines) are welded and the sound and feel of rail joints are limited to point work.

Good film Richard, and the spacing is a great improvement on the HO look track. Sadly not available for the pointwork. Tell me , with the Elevation Set, do you have to put the wedges in very close together, or can you space them apart, say 8-10mm, and fill the gaps when ballasting? Is Copydex better, easier, more expensive than PVA glue? I have only used PVA so far.

They'll always be another show 😊 I put mine per sleeper as I didn't want the track drooping overtime.

I am currently clearing my garage in preparation for my first ever model railway next year. As you will appreciate I am on a steep learning curve and would appreciate any help that you could give. The sleeper spacing looked great but appeared very time consuming, As your layout is new did you consider using Peco bullhead track? If not, why not? I also watched your recent update where you soldered droppers to every piece of track. However, I believe that a few years ago you produced a video showing the use of wired fishplates. Which is the best method? Many thanks. Adrian

As no one has answered you so far I thought I'd offer you some beginner advice. Like a lot of people here I have been doing this for 30 + years. You never count on fishplates to conduct power. They will do so on dry track with no ballast, but the moment you use PVA and water to ballast your track the fishplates will corrode on their inside surface and stop conducting power. Power wires must always be soldered directly to rails for long term reliability. This is why you use the longest track sections possible to cut down on the amount of bus wire connections you need to make.

@@willowsjunction7989 Many thanks for your advice. That is a great help. I will be using Peco flexitrack which will reduce the number of soldered droppers that I will need. Think I will need about 70 sections of track and 20 points, so will probably be an expert at soldering when finished.

Are both mainline and heritage lines totally separate or is there a gradient between the two?
