INNOVATIVE TRACK LAYING AIDS
These simple, but ingenious tools have addressed a number of difficulties that most of us experience when laying flexible track. The Track Pin Mate is designed for ‘OO’ gauge track and consists of an orange, L-shaped 3D-printed device that slots over the sleepers, instantly aligning itself. The small hole will be perfectly placed to guide a drill bit (up to 1.0mm diameter) as it cuts a pilot hole precisely in the middle of the sleeper (see pics 1-2).
