Tardisious: Yes. I thought the same thing when I first read his post. He says he is in Houston which would be less of a problem than say Minnesota, but... If he lays track in the cool of the fall, it goes thru even the mild Houston winter, but when summer and its 100+ degree days arrive, that track is going to swell up and warp all over the place. The severity of this will also be affected by the material chosen. Alum. vs. steel vs. brass. I've found that brass tends to work the best and will weather to a near real look whereas steel will require a lot more care and maintenence. Mike: (FutureGardenRR) --do you have a good source for 1:24 old autos? 1910 - 1925. I have found that 1:22.5 mixed with 1:24 usually works out pretty well. My loco is an Aster C&S (1:22.5) pulling a consist of Delton C&S coaches at 1:24. It looks great. But I'm still finding that these two scales are lacking in good accessories. I agree with vsmith. To a certain degree, us 1:22.5-1:24 scalers are getting screwed a bit. I would appreciate any resource anyone has to buildings, autos, etc, in these two scales. I know about Pola and some of the others, but a good old style auto in this scale is really tough to find. Anything modern would be out of place. Thanx to any and all who respond. Regards, LDH
