Ok so, son got to play on the dual oval on the 4x8 for a few weeks now. I had fun building it, and got my feet wet enough to dive in and take it to the next level. I mentioned the words bigger and hes all about it! So am I! I expanded the table from 4'x8' to 6' 1"x8' (73"x96") Anyway...

So yeah, started laying some track tonight; got the mainline down. And hrmmm, pieces are not fitting like they did in the wonderful software diagram. I even went so far as to pin all the snap track pieces in place, make each of them nice and flush and still fall short under a inch on both...
