Still in the "selling stock and bond subscriptions" phase, my On30 layout will try to follow the principle of build it Sat, 23 Jan 2010 03:33:29 GMT tfillion182 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/deerfieldriver/message/501 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/deerfieldriver/message/501 We are preparing a number of new kits for the big Springfield show Jan 30-31.

I especially like the manual Blue Point switch machine. I'm not using DCC.

Atlas HO is probably the least Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:54:07 GMT Paul http://groups.yahoo.com/group/deerfieldriver/message/498 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/deerfieldriver/message/498 Another way to adapt HO track for On30 modeling is by using a very old trick--namely, removing some of the too-close-together ties. It's easy to do--simply Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:04:37 GMT bobrulejr http://groups.yahoo.com/group/deerfieldriver/message/497 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/deerfieldriver/message/497 ... I use Micro Engineering code 100 flex track on my On30 railroad as it has what I consider, the U.S. look, where I feel the Peco flex looks to be more Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:53:15 GMT Raymaker http://groups.yahoo.com/group/deerfieldriver/message/496 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/deerfieldriver/message/496 Thanks for your replies, Daryl and John. Apparently I can get Peco HO electro-frogs from e-Hobbies at a reasonable price. John, it wasn't a "beginner" Thu, 21 Jan 2010 23:45:11 GMT Darryl Huffman http://groups.yahoo.com/group/deerfieldriver/message/495 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/deerfieldriver/message/495 JR, I use Atlask flex track with Peco turnouts, all code 100, for my On30 layout. Have done this for many years and think it is fine.

Micro Engineering makes an excellent On30 flex track that has correct size ties and small spike heads and Thu, 21 Jan 2010 23:30:33 GMT switcherjoe http://groups.yahoo.com/group/deerfieldriver/message/493 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/deerfieldriver/message/493 Folks seem to like Peco because it looks like they think it ought to look, narrow gauge RRs being sloppy with the laying of ties.

It did a dive to the floor and the tips of the boards where the lettering is going to be are broken Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:40:52 GMT Don & Marsha Munsey Jr http://groups.yahoo.com/group/deerfieldriver/message/490 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/deerfieldriver/message/490 ED, I'd like to know the actual dimensions of the O-115 hopper. Looks like it might work in 1:64 standard gauge. Donald E.
