tac,

what I meant was a dual guage Track, formed by a third rail giving a correct 3ft gauge. This gives lots of complications, I´m aware, ob boy...

But in fact, I don´t have a clue which specialist coud do turnouts in 3 rail...
Atlas´s Standard Gauge Track is fine, but how to convert a Std Gauge Turnout to 3 Rail - I wouldn´t risk to have a try on that...


Kind regards and thank you all for your thoughts...

Tom

Hi to you On30 Narrow Gaugers all!

Just asked myself, since I run a 2-Rail O-Scale Standard gauge Layout too,
if someone does the needed Turnouts for two gauges O/On30?
Would be great if one of you guys has a recommendation for me...

Thanks, and keep those ol´drivers rolling...

Kind regards, Tom

1. Have got two Layouts: one is mainly a Logging RR somewhere in the
    Eastern States with all types of geared Engines plus some of the
    great Consolidations (thanks Bachmann for these Beauties!!!!)

    The other is located on my O-scale Standard Gauge Layout and picks up
    some kind of DRGW/RGS Narrow Gauge to allow me to operate the really
    big Engines (please Bachmann, get into this job too, there are some
    Models which would be worth to be built by someone)


2. I´m scratchbuilding from Wood and Paper (by using PaperCreek) plus
    using Plastic Kits (Walthers) which I´m going to weather and paint, plus
    Paper Creeks O-Scale Buildings and some Resin Cast Houses which
    improve great when beeing correctly painted.

3. Layouts represent the 40ies and 50ies, so mostly post-war.

4. The Logging Layout is a U-shaped Shelf Type Layout, the other fits into a
     bigger Standard Gauge Layout of approx. 18ft x 20ft


---> On30 is getting more and more common over here in Germany, but
       O-Scale Standard Gauge is a rare find, especially if one looks for
       an American Layout Theme... But I never did regret to change over
       from HO Scale to O. In fact, Bachmann did the trick: Infected me with
       0n30, later on I dismantled the HO and built a new O-Scale Layout.
       Its true what once could be read in the Model Railroader: Changing
       to another theme and/or Scale could give you a complete restart in
       this Hobby. It really did...

Kind regards, Tom

Wes,

they all have improved Power Pickups now - running great now.
They´re great looking little critters, but I´m sure you already have a closer look.

Have fun.
Kind regards from Germany,

Tom

Jesse,

it´s possible to get a Decoder in, don´t know it the Soundtraxx DSD90 or DSD100 are still availabe - but a Tsunami would fit into the Tender Shell together with the Speaker(s).

There are several instructions on the Net, and there have been some on the old Bachmann Messsage Board, though.

The only thing is to get the Boiler Shell off, it´s a bit of tricky work, same if you re-attach the Boiler. You will need to save the Sandin Pipes and Brake Gear from Damage.

Have done this Sound Installation with a C&S No.22 - worked pretty fine.
Using the Tsunamis would give you a full, very real Sound Option, if you asked me - first Choice ever... (No, I don´t get any extra payment from Soundtraxx for praising their Products...)

But they´re great - more than just worth the Money...

Kind regards, Tom
