Southern Pacific Switching Layout

[alcanman]

Hi Justin,

I would concur with Ed regarding Peco Code 100. I used this on my Palmetto Spur layout (see my CSX Palmetto Spur thread)

This track is more robust that Code 83 and when painted and weathered looks good. It is also very reliable, I simply rely on the

contacts and have had no problems.(most forums recommend wiring in polarity switches, but I'm afraid this is beyond me )

I used medium radius for Palmetto with live frogs. It's not too complicated, you have to use 2 insulating rail joiners at the frog vee.

However, as ED says, with modern locos fitted with pick-ups on all wheels, insulfrogs should be fine.


regards,

Mal
