@PRR1950 posted:You might get some customers from people relatively new to the hobby, but for those of us in too deep, you might consider how our rollers would adjust from your "lower profile" center rail to our existing "high profile" center rail if we wanted to mix the two types. Maybe some type of "sloped" connection piece? That way, if we wanted to expand an existing pike into a section that looked more "scale-like," it might be possible. Still, your biggest issue would be switches with the "lower profile" center rail; would you also produce those?

Want to clarify where my thinking was originally headed, although "not set in stone" it would be modified based on input received. Didn't want to post this originally to influence feedback too much.
The product would be a cross between Gargraves and Super O. It would look similar to Super O but be constructed like Gargraves. If you examine a piece of Gargraves track, instead of the current tie, it would have ties like Super O. This could (an option when track is ordered) include a "double tie" with the mounting web and holes about every 6 inches (like Super O). The center conductor would be a brass strip like Super O. The top of the center conductor would be the same as the outer rails. If you compare existing Super O to Gargraves they are the same height wise, so this would also be.
BTW For those that many not be aware, Super O and Gargraves outer rails go right together.
Because of tooling cost this would just be track. Ross, Gargraves or Super O Switches would be recommended, "take your pick".
