[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by hminky The Atlas code 100 track more closely matches pre-WW1 narrow gauge track except for the short ties. Most narrow gauge track was 6x6's x 6 ft long on 18 inch centers. The Atlas code 100 track scales out to 6 inches wide x 4-1/2 feet long. Ballasted and weathered it makes fine O narrow gauge track. There is an example of this from on my website. http://www.pacificcoastairlinerr.com/on30/beginner/ Hope that helps some Harold [/quote] Thank you for the answer about the track and the web pages you listed are interesting to say the least. I may build a switching shell layout for my office with one of the BLI engines. The ties could be laid separately after removing most of the HO scale ties, leaving only one tie every few inches to hold the gauge while the new ties are attached. Would code 83 or code 70 be more correct for this size of too small?? Thank you
