Allan Miller posted:I just use a small hammer and tap the pin(s) into the end of the rail(s) slightly past the tiny hump at the center point. Two sections of track then join tightly...or tightly enough so a significant gap is not evident. And, no, it does not distort the end of the rail (in case that question comes up).
Allan is right. You tap the pin until the little hump in the center is in one section of the track when you assemble the track there will not be any gap. I think those who have trouble with rubber traction tires being damaged could be caused by gaps in their track.
