THANKS AND MORE HELP

[NW Modeling List]

I saw a article in MR a few months back, Take a small piece of code 83 
rail and file the one end to use as a wedge.  Drill a hole in a small 
dowel rod and glue this into the rod.   You can then then use it to 
start the rail joiners without cutting up your fingers.   Besides try 
doing it in Nscale.  Joe G
