Title: running in loco's
Post by: brbluewill on December 11, 2011, 12:05:59 PM
i have an end to end layout so running in new loco's would be difficult ;D ;D what would be best a circle of track on a seperate board or a rolling road?? what do you guys use?? rolling road less space required over the circle of track but more expensive and not sure the outlay could be justified to swmbo ;D ;D ;D

If space is a problem, then I'd get a circle of Kato Unitrack.  Clips and unclips easily, so you could store it no problem. :thumbsup:

I would go for the rolling road. Even though it is expensive but it requires lesser space. It will look more elegant. I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to the modelling and this hobby is something which is very close to my heart. Hence I would much rather spend a little extra and make a better looking model.

I'd go for the circle of track because unlike a rolling road it'll let you run the loco in on curves and also find any faults that don't show up on the straight bits.
