Nothing wrong with enjoying more than one scale Russ, I've played around with the idea of On30 from time to time. |

Hi Tyson!! Thanks for the welcome!!
I have to say though I actually model in both
N-Scale and H-O Scale. I have 2 N-Scale railroads
stored in the basement and an H-O scale RR along a
wall in my living room. I love the sound in H-O scale.
But I love N-Scale when space is limited. The quality
of N-Scale cars and engines has come close to H-O scale.
Thanks again for the welcome!!

I should add that the next 2 layouts I built
using Atlas Code-55 track and switches with
Caboose Ind. ground throws and never had a
problem. So I guess it would be between Kato
and Atlas. They both worked good for me.

I built a layout on a door once and used
Kato UniTrack on the main and Micro Eng.
Code 55 on the siding and industry tracks.
I painted the track with NeoLube and everything
worked just fine. But I Had a hard time keeping
the trains on the track when I closed the door......

Kato Unitrack definitely! I used it once and will never go back. |

Unitrack all the way. It's bulletproof. The turnouts have the machines built into the roadbed and they are safely, and inexpensively operated using the BCD circuit. Over a hundred modelers are using BCD now with great satisfaction.

As far as appearance goes, it's not great, but the ease of use a reliability of operation puts Kato's UniTrack at the top of my favorites list, followed by Peco's code 55 track, which looks great, but must be ballasted. I really don't like ballasting...

My first post here..
I built my N scale layout in the mid 90's and at that time in my opinion Shinohara code 60 looked the most prototypical so I used it for the entire layout. The tie spacing is too wide but it does look like secondary line track, which was my goal.
Shinohara code 60 is no longer available so today I would probably use Atlas code 55 and ME code 40.
