I like your suggestion.  I am not keen on the idea of handling and bending rail ends with pliers.

I just pull the joiners off, if you take a small flat blade and bend the lip of the joiner away from the rail grab it with some pliers and wiggle it it will pull right off. I did not use that for the reverse loops just some added feeder where I soldered drops to the joiners like the one's Atlas has.

I think Jerry offers a good suggestion.

Indeed he does.  I'll give it a shot next time I redo my layout.

That's a great concept, but it doesn't always work so well (see prior/above commentary) which is why we are where we are here talking about this subject.

BTW Jerry, it was you who gave me permission to call you old:
