    I'm thinking of getting some new genoa tracks. Mine are flat metal bars with a thin strip of pressboard type material underneath to keep the track off the deck a little, so the genoa cars run free.

    The pressboard has deteriorated and broken up, and was too thin to begin with. I was getting ready to replicate a spacer somehow.

    Maybe I'll save myself some aggravation and buy tracks with the spacer molded in (T-tracks) like these

    Ed, your genoa tracks seem to be well forward. If I buy longer tracks, how would I benefit from extending them forward as you have?
