Hi to all,
Part of the track-base for my new garden railway has been laid but no track as yet. Would I be better off to leave it now until next spring and wait for warmer weather or can I lay it now and leave a suitable size expansion gap - if so what size gap do you think would be necessary? I'm using (mostly) LGB brass track. Anyone know the expansion co-efficient of brass? :thinking:
I will be soldering the joints to ensure electrical continuity. I intend to assemble several pieces in the workshop so that there will be only a few joints to solder on the ground. Has anybody done this and are there any pitfalls to avoid?
