I bought a Ttracker tool like Ron showed from another forum member which worked well once I got the hang of it. After I did my initial track laying, I sold it to a third forum member. To my knowledge, they aren’t made anymore, but someone may know differently.
Then I got the bright idea to add some additional tracks, and I am now in the process of realigning a whole 180 degree curve and extending a passing siding. Since selling, I have been using the hammer and block of wood.
I have arthritis in my thumbs and have braces like Peter’s. Since the last track change, I have acquired arthritis in all my fingers. I’ll be seeing how the hammer and block of wood work in that situation. 😄
