Lay it straight!

[Herc Driver]

Great ideas - and I did them. My problem really showed itself when I pinned the track down. I'm just waiting for my DCC purchase before glueing/ballasting the track in place. I'd like to get the track as straight as I can before glueing everything down. With long lines of flex track, it's been tough for me to get them exactly straight. I guess I'll just buy a straight and narrow piece of metal and align it with that unless there's a better way I'm just failing to see. I've tried using a guage (which gives me proper track spacing) but that just gave me parallel lines with slight waves. I used a metal square tube, and that helped, but it wasn't perfect. Hmmmmm...there's got to be a better way.
