Hello Folks,
Being in N-scale for the past few decades, and also getting more involved with 3-rail O-gauge in the last 5~10 years, I haven't paid much attention to HO scale like I did back in the 70's and 80's. Some, but not much.
A good friend has been dropping off a few HO scale locos once a month or so for me to work on. Last time he was here, he also left me with the latest Walthers Flyer to look at, which I finally did a few night's ago. Kinda' surprised me , but I see that Walthers has a pretty nice selection of HO scale regular turnouts, curved turnouts, wye turnouts, a double crossover, bridge tack, flex track, and some other track-related odds & ends. Some available in code 100, but all available in code 83. A guy could build a whole layout with this stuff.
I didn't realize they offered this much track under their brand name. How long have they had this complete line? Looks like it should pretty be good quality. Is it? How does it compare to Atlas track? Anything else you can tell me about it?
Just curious for now, fill me in with your thoughts, your experience, and your knowledge. Let me know. Thanks!
