Again many thanks!!
Rails forever!! ;-)

My thanks again--hadn't thought of the Dremel--will give it a shot. Anyway, grateful for the input and interest. Be well! Rail forever!! ;-)

Thanks S.B., that led me into some good discussion. Apparently Bachmann is letting others take over the track turf--that's ok with me. But since I own so much of their existing stock, I guess I could use some specific advice on how to properly modify some of their existing track (i.E. shortening a straight section). I hack sawed several using microblades but despite my best filing technique, they all come out to rough and distorted (not able to keep the blade in place). Any thoughts?

Does anyone know why Bachmann doesn't make more sizes and curve radii in G scale than they do and/or how do you make your own if your layout requires a shorter straight or curve?
