Yesterday I decided to spend a little time trying to fix one small problem area of track I had. Right at a tunnel portal, at one end of a turnout, cars would derail if they were run to the left. Running right was never a problem (and was the normal direction of travel for this section). I knew what the problem was - slightly uneven track. I figured this would be a relatively easy fix. Well, after two hours of working on it, I had only seemed to have made things worse. I walked away for a while and finally came back to it several hours later and ended up having to un-ballast and relevel about two feet of track.
When all was said and done, what I thought would be a relaxed, 30 minute job turned out to be a frustrating, 4 hour, 1-step-forward-2-steps-back experience. BUT, I finally did seem to get the problem fixed.
Now I need to re-ballast that whole section... That can wait...
