What's the best way to simulate the top of the rail joints in flex-track?
I've got some 4 bolt fishplates in order to simulate the joints on the side of the rail, but what is the best way (best tool?) to simulate the break in the top of the rail without actually cutting the rail in two? Does anyone know of a fine enough tool to put a small groove in the top of the rail? I was thinking of using a heavy scriber but I'd like to know what other peoples thoughts are or if anyone's done anything similar before I attack the track and potentially ruin it! lol...
