From: Alan Lambert Lone Star Flyer club Arlington, Texas Dear Bob, I had the S-helper cataloge handy and they list their track as 155# (code 125) whitch works for both high rail and scale wheelsets. Their switches will handle both as well. I am starting to do both with no problems. Hope this helps. Thanks, Alan --- On Sun, 11/14/10, shabbona_rr <[email protected]> wrote:

Maybe some of the old timers (if there's any left older than me, that is) could clarify this. Otherwise, I've seen layouts that use Code 148 rail that looked real nice. That may be an good compromise, because, proportionately, it's smaller than Code 100 is in HO. I don't remember what SHS uses, but it must accept the Hi-rail wheels on their rolling stock Bob Nicholson _______________________________________ --- In [email protected], Carey Probst <s-sc...@...> wrote: > > I was thinking about that but the problem is all the nice steam engines > I have from AF. > > Doing the freight and passenger cars is easy and I have trucks for some > but not the steamers or a couple nice diesels. > > S Scale Loco Supply had talked about scale wheels for them back in the > day but if they ever did make them it was when I didn't have money. > > Anyone know of a way to replace the AF steam drivers with scale ones? > > Carey > > Carey Probst > > Member, M.I.T.
