    Modern Era

    There are two turntables in Sacramento Ca, and one transfer table. The turntable at the muesum is still used. the turntabel at the old sp railyards is not used but the transfer tabel has been rebuilt and is used I believe. I found both on google earth but am unable to capture and post a pic.

    I have a few of the 0-4-2 Porters myself. I have heard that useing Pine-sol will remove the lettering. Also even a rubber eraser may do the trick. I have not got up the nerve to try either yet. If you do it please post back.

    Peco or Atlas?

    I love the looks of Atlas C55, Not sure of the C80. On my On30 layout I am using a combination of Atlas Flextrack and Peco Switches and On30 (crazy track) To me the Peco is rock solid, but the looks where not as good as the Atlas. That is what it came down to me. Good luck

    Am I off Base?

    Hi All, Just to clarify, all of the items had his price tag with the shops name on it. I didn't want any cash back, just credit towards an On30 Loco. Cooled off a little today, however my support for this guy just went down a big step.

    Am I off Base?
