Hello everyone;


I'm about to make some display track in 1" sale and would like to know if you all would put an angle on the outside of the plates?
I'm going to mill a slot that the rail can sit in like on the prototype but I'm unsure about the ends.
Taper them like in real life or leave them flush?
The other question is what degree of taper would be correct if they are tapered?
And more importantly, would it be noticable if it were only 2 or 3 degrees?
