Hi James,
I suggested Latex Caulk. I use it in brown as it matches the tie color so  
if it peeks through the ballast. 
As for the rail joiners I recommend Atlas "N" scale joiners Ihave found  
that they all but disappear once you ballast!!

Ed &  Ray,

Same idea I suggested I just don't know the adhesive to use.   Also all my 
track is down so I am past this point.  I will suggest not  using rail 
joiners.  I only have rail joiners in some curves and those  places that the rail 
would not stay without them.  I do have a lot of  soldered rail joints and 
at some point I will go back and add Details West  rail joint details.  The 
idea of no rail joiners is a British idea and  works well.  

For the rail joiners I did use I like Walthers which  look like a rail 
joint but are to big for anything other than Walthers track  and Walthers Code 
83 matches some Code 100 rail.  I used MicroEngineering  Code 83 and some 70. 
 If needed I will be happy to take some  pictures.  To clarify I have Atlas 
C100 and C83,  Walthers C83 and  MicroEngineering C83 and C70 track on my 
layout.
