Breaking Fastrack connectors

TrainfamilyOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Part 1. I decided to try a couple of loops of fastrack under the Christmas trees this year to accompany the tubular track. So far it has worked ok. The last couple of days I have been reconfiguring the tracks to incorporate 072 curves for larger engines. In doing so, I have broken several of the outside rail connectors by bending in the wrong direction I guess. I also had a center rail connector break. Is this common or am I really mishandling these tracks?

And is there a place to get replacement connectors. What I have been doing today is cannibalizing some extra pieces to get the little connectors I need. Hopefully I won't break more but if I do I don't want to keep taking good pieces apart.

Part 2. I had no problem connecting straights. 036 and 048 curves. I am having problems connecting the 072 curves. They don't just snap in place like the other pieces. Which is one of the reasons I may be breaking them

I hope to make this experiment work

Thanks
