Laying Peco code 55 track using caulk: problems

[steinjr]

Are you talking about filing the bottom of the rail and the bottom of the end tie?? :?:

Man, that's a lot of filing. :o

To be more precise :

if you don't have a tie at the very end of the rail, you just file the rail. Couple of swipes along bottom of rail, couple of swipes on sides of rail. Enough to create a slight narrowing of the rail at the end.

If necessary, take end tie off rail first, file rail, put on joiners, file tie a little on top (so it fits under the rail joiner instead of creating a bump where the joiner is), and slide tie back under rail w/joiner.
