So, a friend of mine did several track joints a few weeks back and apparently he forgot to clean a few of them because they are now nice and green. Can he just go back with some alcohol and a wire brush and clean that corrosion off and everything will be good, or do I, er, I mean, does he, have to do anything else?

Hi all,

I'm working on a project that requires an infra-red emitter/sensor set. This is the first time I've used such hardware, and I was hoping for some free advice as to which components to use, and how to use them. The detectors are for a speed calculator, and I'd like something than can be mounted beside the rails (Such as in an equipment box).

Thanks,

With the current layout I'm building, I'm using ME track. I'm having a hard time straightening this stuff out. It's code 83. It is usually fairly straight when it arrives but by the time it's unpacked, moved, measured, painted, cut, cleaned, etc., it's no longer straight. I have a few tools to help; things to run along the top (10") and a piece of metal that runs along inside and some wooden pieces from Fast Tracks.

Not sure this is the best forum for this so feel free to move.  I recently came across the Berrett Hill Touch Toggle system and was curious what people thought.
