Hi everyone,
I have always used 027 track and am happy to stick with it. My new layout will however by 054 and 042 radius curves.
I recently obtained a bunch of Lionel 042 radius switches in 027. Does anyone use these? If so please post some pics of what they look like on a layout - I am looking for inspiration please!!
I am very happy with the ballasted tinplate look but just cant find more than a couple of pics of these switches in action or layouts using 027 but 042/054 curves.
I am in England so there is no-where local I can go to get my answers
Many thanks
MIKE
