Cutting Filler Pieces

[EJELen]

I just tried some Testor's #8872 on the back of a piece, seems to dissolve the plastic, so it must be some form of styrene.

First of all, thanks for all the super info and tips. next, do you think a styrene 'bridge plate' glued to the bottom would help?

Yes, a 1/2" wide X 1-1/4" long strip of sheet styrene "scab" plate would reinforce the joint.  For maximum adhesion, clean the area with alcohol and roughen with sandpaper.  Congratulations on forward thinking.

You stated,"I've done this before on standard Atlas track, but not EZTrack."

Have you considered using Atlas track and cork roadbed to match the rail height.

I use a mixture of E-Z track and Atlas in both code 100 and 83 with very good results.

FWIW you can buy an Atlas Snap-Track assortment pretty cheap that has various short segments down to one that's like 1" or so.  One of those, one piece of Midwest cork roadbed to go under, maybe some cardstock to make the hieight match, and you're in good shape.
