Reply to "WHAT IS 3-RAIL SCALE?"

I was very interested in 3 Rail Scale when this specific forum was still part of the 3-Rail forum.  The early days of the 3-Rail Scale forum were a little contentious to say the least, but it has certainly calmed down quite a bit over the years.  I did a few conversions to fixed pilots and scale couplers on locomotives and converted most of my PRR & NJT fleet to 3RS about 10 years ago.  

However, about 8 years back I caught the 2 rail bug and that is why I don't post much on here anymore.  I found that scale wheels and scale rail without the 3rd Rail was just more appealing to me.   No disrespect to any of the 3 rail scale modelers.  It is a great look and has a lot more options.  

I still collect 3 rail as well as I belong to a 3 rail operating club, but keep the roads more in line with what might be seen on a western themed railroad.  Mainly ATSF, SP, a tad of UP, and Amtrak.  

In two rail, I've been pretty good about limiting my purchases to CNJ and PRR.  I was proud of myself lately as I passed on a well priced GEM PRR F3 Mogul as it was about 25 years out of era with the PRR I model.   However, I'm already pretty heavy on the PRR side so mainly focusing on CNJ at the moment.  It's hard to find accurate base models to start with so the thrill of the search is what makes that exicting.

Still this is a great forum and I see a lot of wonderful modeling going on in this realm.
