29-6 17:31:45	DAZed	yeah I thought it was kinda fun and yet also useful.
29-6 17:31:09	GNFan	It is CP, after al. The metric aspect would be expected.
29-6 17:30:18	soccrdad30	that is cool Doug
29-6 17:29:21	rvn2001	Congratulations eh?
29-6 17:28:49	DAZed	I can't remember if I mentioned this (speaking of laying out curves) but one of the items I won at our convention auction was a CP Rail tape measure. Key feature is.....METRIC!!! Figured it would come in handy working with Rokuhan geometry, etc.
29-6 17:28:17	soccrdad30	I will have to do that then
29-6 17:27:35	rvn2001	I used corrugated cardboard templates for other curves that I did with flex-track.
29-6 17:27:20	soccrdad30	my curves would look warped
29-6 17:26:46	soccrdad30	Ha! so I am glad I am not the only one having those problems
29-6 17:26:41	rvn2001	I did them completely freehand.
29-6 17:26:13	rvn2001	The curves were the first curves I did with flex-track so they're not completely correct.
29-6 17:25:17	soccrdad30	Thom, patience when using Peco track for curves?
29-6 17:24:34	rvn2001	I'll be bringing a small bag of Rokuhan rail joiners and roadbed joiners with me to the NTS.
29-6 17:22:44	rvn2001	Peco for the longer runs and the curves on my end modules.
29-6 17:22:11	soccrdad30	Thom, Peco track for the longer modules?
29-6 17:22:08	rvn2001	The trestles over the river are all MTL non-roadbed track./
29-6 17:21:23	GNFan	Also true, John. But knowing the differences is helpful (says the voice of experience).
29-6 17:21:21	rvn2001	I used both Marklin and Peco on my Z-Bend Track modules.
29-6 17:20:37	soccrdad30	I have pieced them together a few times
29-6 17:19:40	rvn2001	Yes, they do.
29-6 17:19:21	soccrdad30	actually the Peco, Marklin, and non-base MTL/Rokuhan will work well together
29-6 17:18:19	GNFan	John, just be sure you keep the brands of track separate!
29-6 17:18:13	rvn2001	I find uses for all of it...
29-6 17:16:13	soccrdad30	at some point I will clear out the rest of the MTL and Marklin track
29-6 17:15:10	soccrdad30	no Atlas for me, Peco, Marklin, Rokuhan, and some MTL
29-6 17:15:03	GNFan	would NOT snap into place (of course)
29-6 17:14:35	rvn2001	I still have some of all track brands except Atlas.
29-6 17:13:39	soccrdad30	I sold off most of my MTL track
29-6 17:13:34	GNFan	So I learned, John.
29-6 17:13:31	rvn2001	OOooopps
29-6 17:13:18	soccrdad30	ouch Mike, there is a big difference
29-6 17:12:53	GNFan	Hi, John.
29-6 17:12:49	GNFan	Hi, Doug.
29-6 17:12:43	GNFan	Z scale confession: this week I was working with my collection of roadbed track. For too long, I struggled to get a roadbed joiner into its place on a piece of track, but it just would snap into place as the others had. Then I looked at the roadbed again, and realized the joiner was MTL but the track was Rokuhan. I was trying to fit a square peg in a smaller-sized square hole. (Duh!)
29-6 17:12:28	rvn2001	Those are interesting, John.
29-6 17:10:30	jim29t	in general
29-6 17:09:56	soccrdad30	I know the modules are smaller, but just as interesting
29-6 17:09:23	soccrdad30	did anyone see these on ebay? «link»
29-6 17:09:05	soccrdad30	Good to see you again Jim
29-6 17:08:26	DAZed	Jim is that 96 today or do you just mean in general? Either way, glad you're still hanging around and playing trains
29-6 17:07:33	DAZed	hi John
