Re: Embeding the metalplates when using the 'Keld-dremel-met
The wire that Wes sells is .028" in diameter. The lane change plates I received from him are .010" thick. Assuming both are glued down on the baseboard, that suggests that the top of the LC plate should be .018" lower than the top of the wire. If the wire is embedded in a groove/slot,...

Re: seam roller
I'm building a test track. Instead of cutting a groove to press the wire into, I'm trying to glue it on top of the baseboard. I bought a 300' coil of .035" diameter steel piano wire from McMaster-Carr in the U.S. for $15 delivered. When a section of wire is cut from the coil it naturally forms ...
