To all:
I’m new to On3 - not to large scale outdoors.
To minimize my making mistakes in starting in On3, please offer your observations:
1 - Is the standard HO flex track - Atlas, etc. designed for HO use, - the choice to use? Am I accurate that the true scale track is HO in width but for On3 there are different sized ties and spacing? I thought I saw an ad one time in Model Railroader for “true On3 track” but didn’t retrive it. If so, is the appearance dramatic enough to avoid using Atlas HO or another HO brand?
2 - Are the Bachmann locos in this scale, compared to their large scale’s offerings, glitch free? Granted, some simple problems, OK. However, for the cost, is it better in the long run to buy another brand? If so, whom? I believe Athern and Atlas do not make this scale. MTH? Broadway LTD?
Many thanks for your input. I built a Ruby kit and thanks to the help from LSC members I was able to “tune” it.
