Reply to "Where would you put switches? - Lionel Fastrack - UPDATE _ NEW PICS"

Thank you for the replies back...

I was looking for another post and stumbled across an older thread dealing with this very topic...   in that one they used the switches in the corners... o36-036 inner and middle... and then o-48 to o-48 connecting the outer and middle..

I only have two O-48's, so that will not work.

I have 12 O-72 switches and 10 O-36 switches...  I am saving for O-60 switches now... I am in too deep to start over with another brand of track. 

When I started out.. the O-60 was the odd switch out... no one used it... it was all O-36 or O-72....  not now, it has changed.

Lots of awesome layouts out there with O-60 turn out, ie; the 5x15 from Ken O Scale with the O-60 Bowtie... I added O-72 turnouts to it and it does not look good on paper.  Even assembling it on the table... it just does not look right.

I live in Canada.  Whereas I can buy a switch for $109.959 (US) ... it is more like $166.00 then 13% tax.  1 switch is just about $188.00 (CDN)

So, until then, this will get me up and running...

Bryan
