I know several of you are enjoying all the cool stuff at cabin fever in York and I got stuck home working,,,,,,,,,, lol. Hope you all enjoyed the show, I really wanted to get there.
I found out that I have enough wiggle room on the track links when I remove several shoes to avoid using any master link or connector pins to connect the track ends.
Don't know if it will help anyone else but I've been struggling with an effective acceptable master link , now it's solved.
