I looked for the accucraft brass track and was able to find it for a decent price. I live in Colorado so humidity isn't that big of an issue although the track will see a good amount of snow.
Thanks for all of the responses with loads of good info, keep this thread going!... 14 Feb 2010 07:30 PM Track, Trestles, Bridges and Roadbed |

I just looked at the AristoCraft site and the price is definately doable. My biggest concern is how does the alumnum track compare to the brass track in terms of conductivity as I run track power. Does it need to be cleaned more than brass and how is it as far as expanding and shrinking during extre...... 12 Feb 2010 08:33 PM Track, Trestles, Bridges and Roadbed |

Hey guys, I've been searching for track to expand my layout and would love to stick with LGB or Aristo brass track but the price is too expensive for a larger layout. The cheapest I have been able to find is $6.50/ft. I've come accross the Llagas track, how does that hold up to the elements? Also, h...... 12 Feb 2010 05:50 PM Track, Trestles, Bridges and Roadbed |

What about putting some sort of heating element inside of the ballast? It would probably have to be left on the night before but that should take care of the ice, right?... 12 Feb 2010 02:03 PM Beginner's Forum |

Bellows are rubber so I'm guessing USA Trains.
I was just thinking about ice on the track. Do the LGB style track sliders help to clear it away or are they just for power pickup purposes only?... 10 Feb 2010 10:47 AM Beginner's Forum |

Chuck-
I don't have any actual images of them but they look just like these:

I guess they are F3's and not F7's, my mistake.
Where do you guys go for track? I'm already planning the layout for my new place and I can't seem...... 09 Feb 2010 10:14 AM Beginner's Forum |

Chuck- As of right now Leadville, Colorado but hopefully soon I will be near Fairplay. Less snow and more room for a layout! The F units I ran belong to my grandfather and were Southern Pacific in the daylight scheme. I know he's had them for atleast 15 years and he had them overhauled shortly afte...... 08 Feb 2010 07:20 PM Beginner's Forum |

Great ideas guys! I especially like that rotary. Lemme guess, D&RGW+snow must mean you're from Colorado, right? They have an awesome layout at the museum in Golden but when I was there it was not running. Currently I've got the long wide turns on my mainline, not quite sure of the ratio but they...... 08 Feb 2010 10:20 AM Beginner's Forum |

I have a decent sized outdoor layout which sees alot of use during the summer but I would like to try running it year round. We usually put everything away when the snow hits every fall. I have seen alot of stuff online about rotary type plows and spreaders and flangers and traditional plows. I feel...... 07 Feb 2010 08:12 PM Beginner's Forum |
