Reply to "Difficult Trackage Material Choice"

Very nice Tom and the crossing is most impressive. And thank you for including a picture of my turnouts. I have no idea why open frog turnouts that can run Flyer, Hi-rail, and scale are not an off the shelf solution. Why turnout manufacturers are not interested pursuing it is a mystery to me. As you say, it can be done.

The Lionel rail is identical to SHS and MTH, so all three types of wheelsets will operate on it. I like to differentiate between Flyer and Hi-rail wheelsets because they are not even close to being similar. I think people get confused by the use of Hi-rail to include Flyer – when it comes to wheelsets and track standards, they are miles apart.
