I'm (or was) a non functioning member. I
joined (paid a membership) over a year ago, but found that the drive from
Kerrville to the various events was just too much. I enjoy restoring
and running Tin plate trains from the 1930's to 1942 and have a small layout at
home. But I have encounterd a problem that I thought one of you may have
some suggestions about. The flanges on this older equipment are much
deeper than on post war and modern Lionel. Thus when the older equipment
crosses newer switches and track crossings the engines and cars ride up on the
flanges, not on the rim of the wheel. The question is: Do the Ross
crossings and switches have deep enough flange groves to solve this
problem? Or does the Collectable Caboose or other store have Ross
crossings in stock, so that I might bring up a car and check it out? Is
there another Brand I should be considering? My layout requires two 45
degree croosings set next to each other crossing a double mainline set at about
4.25 inches. Old Lionel O gauge crossings look to be impossible to cut
that short. Any suggestions appreciated.
