Right having wittered on about railclamps and flexitrack here is the latest from me. First of all, the ghastly result of bad track laying, not only is the join ugly, it does not provide good running.
So I make enquires and find that I can get Code250 railclamps, code250 being what Peco flexitrack is. I got these from GRC, excellent service. I think they work out at £1.50 each inc vat, but you will have postage on top of that. OK, now what is required is a socket to screw the bolts in/out.
I thought the size was either 2 or 3 mm. So off I goes to Gibbie's tool mart in King Street, great place, very helpful people, only to find that the size required is between 2 and 3 mm. All is not lost. Man says, how about if we try an Imperial size Allen key? Bingo, now I don't know what imp size this is, should be easy to work out. Cost of Allen key 0.35p. Now I had been advised that this was going to be a very tricky job, but absolutely not. Took me a few minutes. OK the track and ballast has to be cleaned up, but a very smooth join now exists. I need more clamps and less rain.
Someone is going to shoot me down and tell me I've put them on upside down
