From: Alan Lambert Lone Star Flyer Club Arlington, Texas I'm with Bob on this. I'm high rail,but I am using S-Helper sectional and flextrack to get that scale look. My rolling stock does not bounce through the switches like the AF swithes that can cause derailments at certain speeds. I may even be like Brooks and have scale couplers on my new stock as well. I'm happy where I am at with my club and home layout. I can run on both with no problems. I learn alot from the scale guys. I have a long way to go but i'm running trains Thanks, Alan

However when you add in the narrow gauge mixture, it's harder to blend in with those guys in most cases--they don't want to know hi-rail and I assume the opposite is also true. I've had AF guys come to visit and can't figure out why I don't have a AF coal loader to load my hoppers! Bob Werre PhotoTraxx On 11/15/11 12:37 PM, up148 wrote: > > Yep!
