Permanent Way in action!

One day on my MPD a loco refused to go over a baseboard joint at the slowest speed, a little faster it negotiated the gap,  no problem. Not good enough, all the others went over with no problems so why this one?........I am not having this..I thought, so I endeavored to rectify this problem......I happens on real railways so why not on miniature ones too? See below:-

The offending piece of track...

 

Offending track lifted...

Baseboard excavated and new track laid...

Result...Permanent Way in action!
