Reply to "May Switch To 2 Rail from 3 Rail - Need Help!"

astarrOGR Forum Member

Started in 3 rail but been 2 rail last 40 years. I have two MTH 3 rail to 2 rail conversion. Even with the scale rails, they are noiser than my 2 rail Atlas F3 or Sunset FT. Sunset is quiter than Atlas, but it is close. In general, noise isnt an issue for my equi[ment. I run across foam baesed and homosote and wood and can barely detech a difference. I usually run about 25 MPH which 3 railers might consider slow. Someone pointed out that 2 years invested in 3 rail is minimal...I agree. I also suggest going with DCC...many more choices. I am thinking it would be best to liquidate the balk of the three rail and pick up 2 rail as you can. Prices on used ) scale wpuld barely justify modifying your three rail stuff. MTH 2 rail wheel sets ae an option but can get pricy. Look around and ypu can probabaly do better. Good luck
