me and a friend are gonna do a train series. After i did some thinking, i thought how about i make a quick set up of a repair yard with 4 tracks, with 2 9 inch pieces of my 1970's-80's straight track. it was litterly gonna be just a prop with E-Z track. their would be 4 pieces for each line but 3 would be the atlas kind. the 2 outer lines would have a raise for workers to do under work. My question is, should i cut the ties off or pull them off. i was planning leaving the last 2-3 ties on for each side so it could stay in shape. Is this a good idea? i don't use this kind of track and its pretty crummy when i got it about 3 years ago.
carefully cut the plastic at the ties you want to save at each rail. cut the ties down the middle where you want them gone. Carefully break off the unwanted ties.
