I make no secret of how tight my hobby budget is and I'm trying to start anew  after tearing down my last in progress layout that I wasn't satisfied with. So, I'm recycling turnouts and track and lumber and just about anything else you can think of. I've even been recycling rail joiners to a certain extent but I did have a fairly new opened package with a few missing. Now, I'm not so broke that I couldn't afford  a package of rail joiners but being that I live in a rural area with the nearest hobby shop about a hundred miles away, I would have to order them so I was sweating getting my new plan laid out  without running out of joiners.  Well, as the title says,  I made it with one joiner to spare! How about that? I must be living right.
