awesome thank you guys for all the replies! I like what Kevin said by shimming the Code 70 Rail with a small piece of .010 brass stock, so thats what im going to try and do first. Im getting Walthers Code 83 Rail Joiners, so hopefully they will fit Micro Engineering Rail lol
If I dont find this to work too well for me, ill come back and try what the others suggested
Thanks guys!
BTW, ive now decided to stay away from soldering. 2 Reasons, I forgot when using Central Valley Tie Strips you do not need to solder the rail joints because you can lay a continuous rail and but each rail against the previous rail. The other reason is in case I ever need to remove the turnout for a modification or replacement, and in that case all I would have to do is slide the rail joiners back and remove the turnout (which im also not going to be gluing down, just kinda leaving it floating there while the joiners keep it in place.
