Structures in tight places - 4
Heritage Furniture was not, since it has rather complicated
corners and supporting columns with corners, and in at least
one spot I had to slap on a piece of styrene because of an ill-
fitting joint. It is unseen on the back but it still bugs me. I wish
I could have come up with a better solution.
But first I had to realign my curving track and fit it to the build-
ings (and vice-versa). I kept playing with them until build-
ings and track worked together – the kits were simply taped
together and the track held in place with push pins. When it all
looked good, I nailed down the track in a few places and ran a
switcher and car into the covered dock and alleyway to make
sure they fit and didn’t bump anything. It is a tight fit, which is
why I added a sign I once saw on the ATSF that says “Warning –
Structures on This Track Will Not Clear Man on Side of Car.”
4: True them up on a homemade sanding plate.
