Reply to "On30 track choices?"

When I first started trying to do On30, I used Micro Engineering HO track with about 20% of the ties removed and the rest spread out.  Since the narrow gauge track I had seen was California logging railroads the ties were mostly buried in the dirt or roadbed so it looked fine to me.  I was using Athearn HO trucks, which were pretty well hidden under the cars.  I never got to the engine but had planned to use the techniques I had read about in the Railroad Model Craftsmen in the early 1970's.  HO mechanisms with O scale cabs and so on.  For turnouts, I was using Atlas #4's with some of the ties trimmed to give the wider tie spacing. 

 

That was well before Peco and ME offered their On30 track.
