A penny saved is a penny earned. But every once in a while it is good to treat yourself to a gum ball.

Originally posted by brianel027 I have talked personally with a couple train company people and the reason that they do not always openly advertise an engine's ability to negotiate the 027 curve (and switch boxes) is simply they feel by saying this some folks (especially those into scale) will view the product as a toy.[/br] Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, October 27, 2004 1:10 AM Thanks a ton to everybody who posted here. Fantastic info. My resurrection of the family heirlooms (in time for Christmas) is turning into something of a semi-permanent setup me thinks. I've gone to 042 for the mainline and 027 for the turnouts along with a bunch of half straight and curves to get three turnouts inside a 66" x 44" layout. So Far . . . . . .

I left one engine off of my list: MTH RK Erie Lackawanna RS3 (PS2 version) handles both O27 and Lionel switches. - walt Reply spankybird Member sinceApril 2003 From: Willoughby, Ohio 5,231 posts Posted by spankybird on Wednesday, October 27, 2004 6:00 AM I just wanted to say, of my approx 30 some engines that I have, Lionel, MTH and K-line, they all run on my 027 layout.

One of these days the economy will turn around for me and I can lay my hands on a digital camera. My layout isn't big, but I run a lot of stuff that totally unique to my layout - at least for the scale of the stuff. Now Walt, I think between you and I (if you decide to hang out here a little more) we could keep this thread going. After all, I ain't "Agent Atlas 0." I am "Agent 027." [8] I just gotta watch out for that Baron Scalenstein. Last time he visited, I ened up being chased away from YORK by a angry mob of prototype-only modelers carrying flaming torches, pitch forks and screaming something about burning the 027 monster at the stake.

The best $150.00 she spent. tom I am a person with a very active inner child. This is why my wife loves me so. Willoughby, Ohio - the home of the CP & E RR.

Rarely do I contribute though since usually I don't feel like I have the expertise to do so. I can offer opinions since everyone is entitled to one of those :-) but 'facts' are another matter! Even over at OGR most of my efforts are on the Protosounds/DCS forum since it's 95% DCS and I have DCS. I don't think I can help keeping this thread going since that's all of the engines that I own! Sadly I have nothing more to contribute. Boo-hoo. thanks - walt Reply Join our Community! Our community is FREE to join. To participate you must either login or register for an account.
