@Dave Koehler posted:Thats not correct! Most will run on code 148, without a problem. Its the turnouts. Toy Flanges hang up on the points and guard rails on the frogs of the Atlas and many other turnouts. (these are an open frog switch's) The answer is to use a closed frog switch. This allows the oversized flanges to pass trough the turnout with out a problem! ( S scale and Old School O Gaugers used them for decades). Please see link Building a Closed Frog Switch - Bristol S Gauge Railroaders (clubexpress.com) With on board power and control (AKA Dead rail) You can now run lionel flyer mth trains on 2 rail scale track, with out an issue!
Thank you VERY much for this information! From this and other recent post I had been advised the track would work, but DID NOT understand this difference in turnout types. Since I am planning to build the turnouts, I can use will method. Problem Solved!
I wasn't on the the Forum last night I was "way deep" in working on the design of my layout, till it was WAY past time to go to bed. I get that way.
