[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by DSchmitt [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by bangert1 [I have a question about the track. If you use HO track, what do you do about the ties? Do they make what you call On30" track? I have seen the locomotives and they look good, but what track are you using for your layout? My point is the importer companies make this scale up so they could sell products to a larger market and now they have to furnish scale track much like the On3 that was always available, but probably at a higher price. They could have just produced the engines in On3 and probably sold more engines as they have a smaller market to work with if it is divided. Jus some questions about the new market and how you are using them on layouts. [/quote] DSchmitt Reply A poster to this thread http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?page=-1&TOPIC_ID=22372&REPLY_ID=212879#212879 sates that Atlas code 100 is closer to somw pre WW1 narrow gauge track than the track made specifficly for On30. [/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 rail be more correct for this size or is it too small?? Thank you
