Anybody model an operating scale track? By "operating" I mean it diverts the cars onto the scale track while the non-weighing cars stay on the "main", & not necessarily actually weighing the cars. The only one I've seen so far is the one on the HO "Beer Line" in Jan 09 MR, & not sure that's switches the cars onto the scale tracks. Did you base it off any good picts / designs or is there a kit already out there? Seems like a groovy scratchbuild project. Just wondering what resources were out there. Thanks! --Mark
Check out N Scale Railroading magazine, July-August 2009 issue, for an article on the Union Pacific Scale Track and Scale House in Cheyenne, WY. I modeled it on my Cheyenne modules, and wrote the article. Buzz Lenander
Thanks for the inside scoop! Just ordered a copy & it's on the way! I look forward to reading your methods & insights. While I'm here, I might as well ask others if they have any photos or different style scale tracks & offices. Any different types of operations / track layouts? Cheers! --Mark
