Chris, How are you fasten the end of the rails? Solder to the PC ties? If so, how are you keeping the PC ties secured to the plywood ends? I've got a little experience with connecting and separating sections of railroads and would be glad to share, if you're interested......
I plan on soldering the rails to the PC ties and using butt joints to connect the sections at the gap. To raise the PC ties to the correct height I laid a strip of styrene down, everything is glued with the popular DAP adhesive caulk. If these section were to be moved around or transported alot, I probably would solder the rails to screw heads. I would still love to hear any suggestions you have Tim!
