The roundhouse and engine shed are using Peco cd 55 up on cork. I think (but am not sure ) I raised it 70 thousandths.
Regarding your turntable area... and I ask because there is a huge chance I'm going to be restarting with Kato by September....how did you do the lead tracks from the table into the roundhouse?
I thought about just taking out the inspection pit in the walthers kit, and then just placing it over the unitrack... but with sheet styrene cut to block off the ties, and maybe painted a bit so they look like inspection pits.....
I'm having too much of a frustrating time with flex track and the humidity changes here in Alberta to have a sustainable railroad... Kato time it is... expect a big order since no one around home carries the stuff! lol
