Good point Mark!
However, I'm just trying to more effectively and efficiently use the wealth of material which I already possess.
I have over 30 some odd engines with some having the 2 / 3 rail switch.
I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 cars. Several have plastic wheels which I can swap out to use on the 2 rail.
I already have two DCS systems and multiple extra remotes--and transformers.
Many of my cars are already highly detailed highly realistic and prototypical Atlas cars that I have weathered.
Really, all I desire is 2 rail track.
I want an O scale 2 rail layout that is super easily portable, exactly like my 3 rail Timesaver, so I may display it at NMRA and other sponsored train shows.
I have communicated with Brad from Signature Switches who can build Code 148 turnouts in a way that provides clearance for hi-rail wheel engines and cars.
I would love to create / build a super detailed highly realistic super easily transportable 2 rail O scale switching layout.
