Just curious...where did the term "whisker tracks" come from? I have never seen that term before. It's not used in the 12-inch-to-the-foot world anywhere that I know of.

I can't honestly say Rich, but I've heard it used for years, and I'm just following suit. You'll have to ask the guys that I took my lead from where they came up with the term.

I did a search and tons of people including folks like Millhouse use the term, note item #3.

Here's a real RR reference: http://www.weirdca.com/location.php?location=909

And of course, Ross also calls them Whisker tracks.

Ross Custom Switches Turntables

From that page?

These guys are compatible with Lionel Legacy in so many ways and its cool as heck. Use the Legacy/TMCC handheld, or download the Lionel turntable app to your IPad and watch the bridge rotate to any track simply by TOUCHING THE WHISKER TRACK POPULATED ON THE SCREEN! Too cool for school!
