I have sen two ways to connect the three rail "O" Gauge: 1) All three pins connected to either side of the track 2) Two pins connected to one side at the inner and middle rail, and the other pin connected to the...

2014年4月22日 · So here is the question, how many of you have gone with 100% Ross for track and switches? I am most likely going to go this route for the layout I am building my boys. I was going to go with scaletrax but waiting on MTH for switches is an...

I'm in the planning stage of my first (above the carpet) table layout and found this recent thread. I really appreciate that the original thread started in 2016 and I can learn what was used back then and read what is used currently in 2024. Forum user “mikey” posted photos of his layout using tubular track with Brennans ballast which is what I’m planning on using. I’m not sure if his ...

2012年1月31日 · Hi CW, Wow! That is exactly what I needed to know. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Very interesting the hole sizes. It seems with the 384 Lionel was trying to split the difference so to speak. I guess to get by with only 1 size for both rails. I'll do a little more work tomorrow night & see what I can come up with. Interesting observation of rail construction I …

Hi Vince- You can do both! Not sure if someone has already recommended this or not, but Lionel makes a piece of track called a Transition piece. One side connects to old tubular track, and the other side connects to Fastrack. As you expand your layout, you can use this one piece of track to keep one part of your layout, tubular track, and another, Fastrack- CLICK FORTransition Piece …

2017年4月1日 · Over the years I have substituted the K-Line snap track for the traditional Lionel 0 gauge tubular track and I am now running into a problem. I cannot use the traditional Lionel lock-ons and I don't seem to easily find the lockons for the super-snap track so I am considering soldering wired connections. There are two possibilities-(1) right to the rails (center and …

Lee, The track I used has wood ties. The turnouts are Ross so they are wood ties the balance of the Ross track had spikes. Agreed, but I stop at Ross. Yes, I spiked the center rail. Again this was done to match the Ross track and switches used. Steve

2019年8月19日 · At one time I looked into Lionel T Rail trackage, however price and availability led me to Atlas O, Ross Custom, and Gargraves. It’s actually die-Cast track, and at its age, very easy to break, difficult to hook together, and not near as reliable on allowing the electric current to evenly flow via the track. It’s nice looking, needs to be on homasote with cork roadbed to be …

I am planning a wall mounted run in our family room(26'x28'). So far, I am planning to use Gargraves track with O72 curves... The shelf will be ¾" plywood and 1x6 boards for the long runs... Currently I have several SD70 locomotives and 2 small steam locomotives and some Railking and Premier freight cars... With these lumber components, I think my center rail will …
