@stangtrain posted:When I moved from PA to CA I had the thought to build my new layout with Atlas track until I added up the cost and looked at all of the Lionel tubular I already owned and the Ross switches I had and used it again. Installed on cork roadbed w/ extra ties and ballast. I still like the "look" of the track and when mated with Ross switches, it is really bulletproof IMO:
Before I reinvent the wheel,… tell me about the ties. Where did you buy them and/or if you made them, from what? Obviously I can rip down some pine or something but if I can start with something dimensionally correct… that would save a bunch of time. Thanks
