The Empire

I switched to Peco Code 83 as the Micro Engineering is a real pain to work with.  I could have used the ME track for the repair, but decided on the Peco.  I had to cut rails with a dremel which tore some more of the rail out than I needed to, then as the track was attached with caulk, sand it down flat.

I originally used the metal radius gauges for this, but I like the wooden "sweepsticks" better, as you can spike the track down easier due to the center holes.

I didn't use adhesive, just the spikes.  We'll see how this holds.  I could try some ballast here as well to hold this down, but this area may never get scenery, at least not in the near to fairly distant future.  

Ran a couple of trains through without issue.  I will probably fix the outer track tomorrow.

Did you allow a small gap as an expansion joint?

Jeff, it's all looking good.
Keep having fun with the layout.
