[#welcome] Gareth <br /> <br /> You will not breaking any modeling rules for trying out any plan you like. If you are not using Atlas brand sectional track, you may have to make some changes or deletions in the process if you are using another brand sectional track and there are differences in radius and/or length. But it won't hurt to give it a go. OO track is the same gauge as HO, only the scale of the model is different (1/76 vs. 1/87). <br /> I would suggest buying the Atlas book. It will show you where to put rail insulators for blocks or passing tracks and wiring so you can operate more than one train if you are not using DCC. The turntable is for turning the locomotive, not the whole train and for routing the loco to service / storage track. <br /> <br />[img]http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-2/1148725/10031.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />A word of caution Gareth. Edit your profile and add your e-mail address there. It will add an e-mail icon to your post and folks can contact you through the forum. Otherwise you are asking for spam or worse. <br /> After that, edit this post and delete your e-mail address. <br /> <br /> If you want to know when someone has answered your question, you can check the box at the bottom message reply area (not quick reply) to be notified when a response is made to the thread. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
