Phil Haigh<p>Having tried a wider variety of locos on the helix I’ve discovered that the longer wheelbase steam engines (like my Bachmann V2) can jump off at the joins between pieces of flexitrack where the track spacing isn’t quite right. </p><p>The plan is to use some of these copper sleepers - solder one side, fix the gap and solder the other side, then pin in place. If the gap isn’t quite right I can melt solder to adjust. </p><p>These sleepers from DCC Concepts are actually for a catch point but are the cheapest available in a reasonable quantity. </p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OOScale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OOScale</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/HelixBuild" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HelixBuild</span></a></p>
