    What kind of track work would you like to have? In what size rail also? I would really like to have some bigger frog number turnouts available. Turnouts #10, 11, or 12 would be alright! In code 55 rail or even code 70(to match Shinohara) would do the job. Right now to get this size turnout you have to scratchbuild them, something I am not looking forward to. In N-Scale we have the room to use the bigger frog numbers, if they were only available. HOPEFULLY SOME MANUFACTURER WILL SEE THE NEED FOR THIS TYPE TRACKWORK.

    So I ask again "What trackwork would you like to see made?"

    Big turnouts would be nice, with correct frogs, unlike the huge #10 walthers did in ho...

    Micro-Engineering makes great Code 55 trackage! Now if they only made #8, #10, and #12 turnouts in addition to their #6's. Actually, I'd be happy to make my own if I could get some of their Code 55 rail stock.

    Now, how would I explain to my Wife why I tore up and threw away over 300 feet of Peco Code 55 and more than 25 turnouts? :eek: [​IMG] Nah, it would never fly! :D

    It just so happens that I do build may own turnouts using Micro Engineering Code 55 rail. I am in the process of launching a custom-turnout line similar to what BK-Enterprises and Railway Engineerig do, but at a more affordable cost. My first planed release is a #11 L/R

    Email me offline at: dwells77@yahoo.com and I'd be more than happy to give you more information on the turnouts as this is a question I have frequently inquired of modelers!

    Best Regards,
