Reply to "HellGate Bridge Assistance"

One of the magazines, either OGR or CTT did an article on using double main Fastrack on the Lionel 305 Hellgate bridge. I believe there was shimming involved but I am not sure.     If you have access to a good table saw with a really good carbide trim blade you can trim sufficient material off to get two to fit side by side.  WARNING   Wear a face shield, the first piece I ripped took wings because either I was moving the material too fast or did not have tight to the table.  I made a rip on both pieces and placed the cut to the outside. The bridge is 30 1/2” and the Fastrack is 30” so you will have to take a coping saw and trim the corner on the two connecting pieces. Remember to move slowly and use two push blocks, one to push and one to hold tight to the table. Only remove enough material so they fit snugly.
