Never Done This Before/Track help | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

lionel2024OGR Forum Member

I will be selling most of my layout over the next couple months. I will post it on the for sale forum first, and then try craigslist etc. Would any of you be interested in any of it?

Here's a short list:

MTH SD 90 MAC w/ Locosound

Misc. Lionel/K-Line freight

Fastrack

Tubular Track

Also, I have a few transformers to get rid of. I will post pricing on the for sale forum.

I am getting rid of my fastrack and tubular track because I want to switch to Atlas or Gargraves track. If I would switch to Gargraves, what kind of switch brand is the "best"?

Thanks,

Adam

If using Gargraves, then you should use Ross Switches. Best In The World. Atlas switches are also good,but sometimes not.

If you are using MTH engines, try the Ross switches, stay away from Gargraves switches with MTH engines, at least that is my experiance.

So far I don't have any problems with Lionel engines and switches.

Williams engines will run on almost any track system, with the exception of a few Lionel brand O gauge switches in tubular track.

I would definitely be interested in seeing what Fastrack you have for sale. Especially if it includes any O60 or O72 switches.

I see that you have 2 threads started. I made this comment in the other one and will repeat it here since I'm not sure which you are following:

MY COMMENT:

are you unloading any O-27 K-Line low profile remote switches in 42" diameter?

shoot me an email as I would be interested in those.

I might be interested in the tubular track (O gauge not O27). What types

of transformers do you have ? You can contact me off line at johnretired@yahoo.com

Use Ross Switches with Gargraves track. They are totally compatable.
