Do you have spots of track that derails continually and runs poorly. Don't live with the constant frustration, fix it. In this video I am replacing bad track on a model railroad layout. I have a crossover that simply will not handle long equipment like auto racks, so I am upgrading it to a larger turnout size to fix the problem. This is just the first of a few track problems I will be fixing in coming weeks. I look forward to a better running/operating layout as a result.
