(snip) > I agree with my father, who used to lay track back in the days of thirty men to a sixty foot length - the problems are caused by the "continuous weld" type of track used, which has none of the expansion joints of the old type. Consequently, you get hot weather, and the track buckles; other stresses cause cracks and hence the derailments of the last few years. Not that there were no accidents before, but some things ask for trouble. > Jane Partridge
