I checked the track before gluing it down and I don’t remember the cars jostling like this. I purposely did not glue the turnouts. Anyone have ideas why the cars are jostling and any solutions?

Blake from the Roadskater is always snapping pictures on his rides. Well, this time I got him during the Tour to Tanglewood MS Ride. ;) Can’t wait for the 2011 Carolina Century. Will be a great ride!
The picture quality is better when viewed full sized.
An Arduino Duemilanove, 16×2 LCD, and Qik 2s9v1 motor control in a fairly simple circuit. I’m not much of a solderer, so the jumbled mess is a mess and the joints are blobs. But, hey! It works! Need to get the voltage readouts working, test using different PWM settings, and probably use a better (read alkaline) battery.
