Here is an update. I have posted my notes as pictures as I did not fee like retyping it all. My notes are available in PDF – but I can not upload that file type to the form – Sorry.

Good stuff. I downloaded all the images to keep as a reference

Yes, my thoughts too - I just wish I could have uploaded a PDF file for all you to have - would have then given you searchable text.

The truth is that as my project evolves, I generally go back and modify my notes and deciphering all that in a forum thread can be challenging for readers, and a lengthy process for me to post report modified topics and changes.

So, posting my notes, which are dated, lets you get the "latest" version and dispose of the earlier versions.

One thing. I am now starting to wonder if a better premise might be to modify 1/35th scale kits to just fit the 1/32 scale track? In the vast scheme of things - how much will 3mm more in track gauge make? Then just use 1/32 track. see, I am starting to find there is a lot of used, 1/32 track out there to be had at some reasonable prices - since I am looking at a shelf to moderate switching type layout.....

This is something I will ponder more on.

There are a few out there that model in 1/35 scale, or sometimes 1/32 scale.

HO gauge track is 16.5mm gauge which in 1/35 scale measures out to two feet (in 1/32 scale it comes out to 20 inches). This allows modelers to use HO and On30 mechanisms and trucks (wheels). Some, like myself, go with battery power remote control.
