I was resisting railclamps to just where I had to put them. I know their good but I was being frugal. I'm indoors and the stock Aristo stainless joiners are pretty good but I can't get them in all the time or they strip.
I have to break the track up into sections for track power. I have a spot right after a turn, where the plastic Aristo insulated don't help hold the mis-aligned rails enough. I called the store for some splitjaws that I have used and they were out. So, I ordered Hillman's (Silvergate) insulated clamps. They seem very robust. They straightened the rails right up. I'll still use the Aristo insulators in my yards, but not on the main.
I wonder which is better the Hillmans or the Splitjaws? Aristo makes a cheaper plated clamp that I use and like, and they have a better clamp that I would like to try but could not get that day. Joe
