Gaps and jumps use the same equipment.

A gap is just a space in the main line. Usually going through a sink. So you just make the main line continuous. So a gap looks like this:

============== ==================

And when you gap it, it looks like this:

==============--------------==================

A jump is where you go off the main line onto a side line, so a jump looks like this:

==========================

And when you jump it, it looks like this:

Now lets see if the white space is preserved...

Ps. No, the white space was not preserved.

I can tell what you intended. Thanks for the clarification. I was curious as well.

I agree. Came across very well.

Thank you

I should have also pointed out that the big difference between the two is you have a directional "problem" returning to the main line from a jump (left or right, which way out?). There is no such problem with a gap, since it's end-to-end.

And running gaps is an excellent way to learn the skills necessary for running jumps, so my guess is that's why it's included in Cave I. It's safe and a skill builder.
