Carey....If'n I understand your internal debate, I think you will be more
satisfied in the long run with one large layout as opposed to two smaller
layouts. Longer runs, more switches, more operational possibilities, etc.,
etc. So I would think, under these circumstances, you should aim in the
direction of one really fantastic layout that can handle both hi-rail and scale
wheels. That, to me, would be far more intersting than two smaller simpler
layouts that each handle one or the other, but not both. I think SHS imports
wheels to replace AF's oversized flanges with something more realistic and
similar to other hi-rail wheels. So I think running AF cars on hi-rail track
is easy enough to do, but I don't know about AF engines. That would be the
hard part, I think. Maybe using SHS or Tomalco flex track would solve the
problem nicely. Might need some Tomalco switches for a more realistic turnout
that is less sharp. Just some ideas. Have fun...Ed L.
