Reply to "What what are the top 3 items on your 2 rail wish list?"

1) Larger sectional track. I am NOT a do-it-your-self-er, and once I am ready to lay track, I am not about to lay individual ties and rail spikes. I know some really enjoy that, and I admire their work, but that just isn't me. I was really hoping Atlas would continue their sectional track a couple more notches. They already have 54-inch radius (I own several boxes), next step would be 58.5 and then 63-inch radius. At that point, having over 60-inch radius, you could run just about anything AND have just about anything look good. Then add two more rungs to the ladder, 67.5 and 72-inch radius, and I think you'd have a complete package. Those 72-inch sections would be about 28 inches long each, which is about the length of their zephyr boxes, so shipping is definitely doable.

2) Larger selection of ready made switches. I would LOVE for Atlas to do their double-slip in 2-rail, would open up SO many more design possibilities for those short on real estate. I have emailed one of the custom builders mentioned often here, but gotten no response.

3) Someone to redo F-7s so I have a chance to get an ARR F-7 #1500-1501.

Lenz (Germany) made an Atlas compatible and look-alike #5 double slip (I have two) and 3 way #5 (I have one) also some relatively smallradius curved turnouts   I think I heard that Peco has bought the line from Lenz.  I don't see anything on the Peco website yet other than the existing bullhead rail double slip, but nothing in flat bottom rail from the Lenz line.
