Abstract: We discuss two operations on nodal curves with (logarithmic) vector fields, which resemble the `stabilization' construction in Knudsen's proof that $$ is the universal curve over $$. We prove that both operations work in families (commute with base change). We construct inverse operations under suitable assumptions, which allow us to prove a technical result quite similar to Knudsen's, in the case of curves with vector fields. As an application, we prove that the Losev--Manin compactification of the space of configurations of $n$ points on $$ modulo scaling degenerates isotrivially to a compactification of the space of configurations of $n$ points on ${mathbbA}^1$ modulo translation, and the natural group actions fit together globally.
