<font color="336633">I have always wanted to do some hand built track, but my flex track looks like a yard in bad need of repair....... but I would like some code 55 sidings on my HO layout.</font>
Bill, I appreciate your offer to help. What is RailImages? I am not familiar with it. Is it free? Thanks again, Gary
One of the first layouts I had was built using code 70 track on dyed Campbell ties. I tried handlaying the turnouts, but gave up & used Shinohara code 70 turnouts instead. With the addition of paint on the rails, some ballast & ground foam, plus a less-than-arrow-straight line, my track looked like the worn-out shortline I was modeling. If I could afford it (or hit the lottery), I'd build my next layout with code 70 mains and code 55 sidings, spurs and yards.
I little more progress. This is what I have done in the last week. It's not a lot, but hopefully I will have some time to complete the third turnout today. The turnout from the mainline is a #8 and the others will be #6. Jesper
Jesper, Sure does look good! I have got to find me supplies to get into hand laid track to work on my just in plan stage Diorama so... But thats so realistic looking so... Which is what I want on the Diorama! NICE work tho!
