QUOTE: Originally posted by John Busby Hi Old Dad Sounds very interesting. Have you concidered a piggy back car where the narow gauge is loaded onto the wide gauge for final shipment to its destination. there are a couple of non US prototypes for this and if you look hard enough probably a US one as well. Just a passing thought I must watch those they could be dangerous[:D] Thats why I have the begining of a dual gauge section I had one of those dangerous passing thoughts[:D] regards John
QUOTE: Originally posted by OLD DAD I had forgotten about those piggy-back trains,,,,,I saw them in a video once. I don't know if such a thing ever ran in the US but one probably did some place.
Have fun with your trains
QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith Larry, Be carefull with HO scale track outside. Derailing is extremly easy to do. Are you planning on using ready made flex-track or handlaying. Try to get the largest rail you can, less problems with derailing and easier to keep level. Saw some Gn15 at the Ozark Miniatures booth at the QM show, really cool stuff. Was told to keep track level as possible if installing outside and to paint all plastic ties to help sheild from UV breakdown. Good Luck, keep us informed on progress.[8D]
QUOTE: Originally posted by iandor Larry i can't for the life of me see why you want to do this but if we didn't try new things where would we be. I'm just a watcher and anything that interrupts that is just an annoyance for me. However if we all felt the same it would be a boring world and good luck with it. Rgs Ian
