    Double crossover

    Now my basic insecurity is showing, so I will try to ask a specific question. Using Kato Unitrack, if I have two ovals, one running inside the other, can I take the Kato 310mm 12 3/16" double crossover turnout, and use it to join these two ovals so that the switches can be set to have...

    Evaluation of Model Train Manufacturers

    I joined the forum last night so I don't know my way around too well. I am going to begin with model railroading, probably N gauge because of space considerations, but have not bought anything yet. I don't really know what to base my buying decisions on. What I really would like to know if there...
