Really?? How do all the HO & N scale layouts that are 2-rail and have balloon tracks manage?? For DCC, simple 'reverse loop modules' are readily available. Honestly, judging by many of the comments I see from 3-rail guys, anyone would think these smaller scales, that work perfectly well in 2-rail, had never been invented!!??!!

I'll repeat what I would like to see in 2-rail - an affordable (i.e. not brass) EMD/Santa Fe CF7, and modern (post-1980) rolling stock - ARMN Reefers, etc. I have 2-railed some MTH Premier 50ft high-cubes with Atlas roller-bearing trucks and they look great.
