Hello all;
In pondering on my next modeling project, I wanted to start a layout in HOn3. While I don't mind working on scenery, structures, rolling stock, locos or the like, I really wanted to avoid hand laying my rail or building turnouts (I haven't done this alot, and I wanted to spend the limited time that I have on other things besides this...). I'm planning on building a couple small modules at first, so I figured this would be rather easy, just need to get some track and give it a go.
To my dismay, it seems almost IMPOSSIBLE to find any pre-manufactured track from any supplier. Mail order? Nope. Local BMHS? Nada. Walthers. Bzzt.
Additionally, even what is technically "available" from manufacturers like shinohara or ME seems very limited.
Does anyone have suggestions on where to find some decent track/turnouts? Any info on why it is so hard to find/obtain shinohara stuff currently? (I noticed the same thing with the new walthers track made by shinohara, which is also difficult to get right now...)
Thanks for the info!
