New track for the layout

This Saturday, I went to Blik en Speelgoed to purchase some new Merkur tracks. The new track enabled me to remove the old half inner circle of Hornby-Meccano tracks and get some clean and level tracks in stead.

 Here you can see what I did with the Merkur switches; make a new switch yard.

 Plenty of new clean tracks, I would reckon.

Also the Weaver tank car that never fancied the Lionel 027 radius tracks, can now safely be placed on a side track without derailing it.

 In the middle of the larger table I used some my older Lionel 027 tubular tracks from the eighties to make a small yard.

 Here the Lionel 1668E crosses the temporary bridge.

Shake rattle and roll over new tubular tracks.
The moral of the last months; you can clean old tracks what you want, but you cannot get it level and straight, so in the end you will buy new tracks anyway.
