Im evaluating the C&L plastic track for a potential Limerick Junction model. Has anyone any experience of this track in 00 , it means that Ill have to hand build upto 40 points , but hey it will keep me out of the pub for years
As a test track Im going to build the famous Limerick Junction Scissors , ballast and weather it etc with a metre of track each side , I haven't decided to make the crossing vees and switch blades, but thinking about it brings back lots of memories . given my eye sight is not the same as it was when I was 18, I might buy some pre made vees, though I expect the geometry of the scissors will mean a fair bit of scratch building.
I would be interested in getting anyones feedback on this track or / Exactoscale or SMP/Marcway etc .
Im currently using Templot to render a template for the scissors ( and the whole layout actually )
Does anyone know if the C&L or any of the others can be mated to Peco "fine scale" track, for fiddle yards etc. I'll ask C&L anyway
Im still getting over the shock of not going for full 21mm or even EM. ( but then my mate Noel will have lots of DCC Murphys models that could then "visit")!!
