Reply to "Why isn't O Scale 2-Rail more popular with model railroaders? What can be done to increase 2RS's popularity?"

Some thoughts here:



But can you give five examples of 2R-based article submissions that aren't a layout feature that you'd actually want to publish in OGR magazine?

Dave,

I have been an OGR subscriber for about 20 years.  I can't give you any examples off the top of my head.  Over the years, however, OGR has published many articles on how to build O gauge buildings, lay track, construct scenery, convert 3-rail wheels and couplers to 2-rail, etc.  The techniques for laying and ballasting track is the same in both 3 and 2 rail.  

The late Jim Barrett's articles about layout construction are universal whether a layout is built in 3 or 2 rail.  Jim wrote about how to construct a lift bridge to cross a doorway at a layout's entrance and how to construct a curved wood trestle, for example.    Bill Bramlage has written extensively about how to build sky scrappers and how to detail buildings.  I am sure that Allan Miller will be able to give you other examples.  NH Joe
