Transistion over module gaps

[Engfanuk]

If your planning to use guide pins and nuts and bolts to assemble the sections you should (using a drill press if possible) clamp the mating module ends in perfect alignment and drill the holes for both guide pins and nuts/bolts at the same time. Lay your track on assembled modules run it right up to the edge of the module then lay the next section on the next module.You can use jumper wires with connectors to allow juice from one module to the next.or you could solder contact strips and anchor them to the ends of the module so that when the modules are bolted together you instantly have power.

As for hiding the seam between modules you can use buildings ,parking lots ,roads or just run your scenic material right upm to the edge of the module.

I hope this makes sense to you as there are times I have trouble getting my ideas across.

Thanks, idea definitely got across I don't have a bench press or a workshop anymore:-( I have a cordless drill and only one usable hand to wield it with. Hence accuracy isn't my best skill. It's one of the reasons I'm questioning myself over whether I can get the accuracy dowels/guide pins need or if I need them at all. Realignment would be a rare occurance and I can rewet the ballast and track to nudge it to realign if I need to.

I totally get dowels and guide pins and if this were a set of modules that had to go up regularly or an exhibition layout they'd be the way to go and I would role someone in to assist me. However I think I'm just making this more complicated than I need.
