There was to face an another challange: How to make the changeover in a curve.
Alignment pins should help to put the two segments together.
I made the experience that this might be the only way to get a reliable changeover
from any segment to another. It makes it comfortable when you often have to
assemble your layout as well - but that is a different story I will tell you some other time.
I soldered the rails to screws that I put 4mm from the gap and additionally ties to solder
the rails. I glued them with CA to the layout. I soldered the rails over the gap and cut them
after they were fixed with a small cutoff wheel. I think it fits perfectly and reliable.
