British Finescale - Flex track
As well as the turnout kit, building the scale 60ft lengths of straight flex track was far more straight forward - it simply involves threading two lengths of rail (making sure to get it the correct way up) into the 3D printed webbed chairs which are securly held in the jig as shown below -
Above are my first attempts to solder two 60ft sections together after fitting the metal rail joiners (far fiddler to fit than the traditional peco ones!) and then adding dropper wires. In hindsight, I should've used smaller gauge wire as soldering 16 AWG is difficult due to the comparatively smaller surface area of the code 40 rail underside.
