Cutting EZ Track

[Teamanglerx]

What is the best tool for cutting EZ track?  I have some gaps I need to fill and I need to create a custom sized piece.

   I've used a Zona fine tooth saw to cut pieces of EZ Track for display cases, and find it works quite well...I've had a few over the years and have used them on Atlas and Lionel track also. They are available at most hobby shops...I paid about 4 bucks for a new one about 4 months ago...

Dear T,

Are you a Tea Mangler, or a Team Angler?

If you have room to expand your layout a few inches, you can use what I call "Differential" gap filling. 

Say you need to fill a gap of 3/4".  Expand the other side of your layout with a 2.25" straight, then put a 3" piece where the gap was.

3" - 2.25" = 3/4".

This concept works very well (maxgap = 1/4") if 2" straights are available.  (At this time only found in the 90 degree crossing package.)

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik

Free the 2" Straights !
