Is there a place in the forum where a member can submit his or her preferences on what rail configuration they run on there layout. It would be interesting to see how many 2 rail vs 3 rail we have in OGR ?

I’m a 2-railer. My layout takes up most of our basement, but my sons have a 3-rail layout (5x9) and I enjoy collecting stuff with them.
I’m a 2 railer! There are a few of us nuts out here!

Depends on the road name. I model CNJ and PRR in the 1950's in 2 rail for myself while I operate modern and western roads in 3 rail at my operating club.
There's 70/1100 of us so LOOK OUT!!!

So out of the 70 how many have tried or are using battery-powered engine's would you say?

Rick. Have you or would you ever run battery-powered engines?
Also of the 1030 3rail guys and gals how many of you have or would try battery-powered ?
I kinda live in both worlds, even running scale wheels on hi-rail layouts. I also have a couple of pure locomotives. I've also converted several 3-rail cars to 2-rail. Electrically, the home layout will go both ways, plus support DCC.
I’m a 3-railer but I have no allegiance to it other than the size (I like O). I would absolutely try battery power.
Since I am in S gauge I am obviously a 2 railer. I use the Legacy control system exclusively even though S gauge Legacy engines (and MTH DCS 3.0) are compatible with DCC.
Bill...you need to do this by creating a poll. If you need help on doing this, post over on the tech support forum.
