Hey, My club, Pomona Valley Model RR Club here in the LA area, we still hand lay most of our track and switches. The only time we use regular plastic track is for inside tunnels and places that are not easily seen by the guests. We do all the work from cutting the ties, to staining them and installing them by hand. The switches are hand laid as well and all the points and frogs are soddered into place. Its a lot of work and is very time consuming, but the results are fantastic If anyone is interested in seeing pics of our club layout, visit http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/kd6pyd/pvmrrc.htm Take care, Jack.

If you live in the LA area, we can give you a tour of the layout. Come and visit us! We are having an open house on Sat, April 14, 2001 from 9:30am to 4:00pm.
