Hi All, No one so far has addressed Rance and Bente's query, perhaps because there is no easy answer. However I would like to point to the possibility of SHS S-TRAX. It is the only one available with Code 125 rail and is very attractive with simulated ballasted road bed, but of course only #3 Turnouts are offered at present. Don promises #5 turnouts in the future so perhaps when they appear, this will satisfy Rance and Bente's needs. #5 is of course not as good as a #6 would be, but at least would be a good compromise between space and compatibility with scale needs. AC vs DC is a personal preference, I suppose, but AC is a HiRail demesne and perhaps not within this forum. DC vs DCC is also a personal choice but DCC has so much flexability and potential that I believeit has the the future, but not exclusively. DC will always be simpler in practise for smaller layouts at least , in my opinion. You just have to get out there and see what others are doing and then decide.

Hi all: I would also like to ask for the same thing, but with approximately code .125 rail and with the motor or hand throw already attached. I think AM has some brass type that are RTR, but that is about code .149 which is a little high for what I want. Please steer me towards a RTR (either electrically operated or with installed throw rods). I need somewhere between 3-5 pairs of RTR #6, code .125 (or slightly larger - up to about code .133). Do they exist? (Do they also take scale and high rail wheels?) I know Tom Stoltz will make them in almost any size rail, but I would also like to have them so that they 'electrify' the frogs and points when thrown. Oh, one other thing, I am still in the 'dark ages' using ac rather than dc or dcc. Well, one can't have everything!
