Easitrac
I had a nice day at Alexandra Palace today - and spend a few quid , but one of the smallest things I bought (for all of £1, thankyou Missy!) is the most interesting - a sample of 2mm association easitrack . As my N guage layout of Bodmin Parkway only has 1 set of points (there are others but they arent required to work) I cottoned on that modern farish and Dapol stock will run on easitrack without having to change wheels - , just in time , as i was about to start laying Peco 55. Now I've tried a bit for myself - im sold - its dead easy to build , and looks very nice , but you knew that already. I have lots of PECO CDAs, which I thought wouldnt run on the easitrac , their plastic wheels always looked quite coarse to me, but they glide along the 2mm track lovely.
I would like to find some better wheels for these wagons anyway though - the rest of the model is so nice, and now with nice track to run on , I think the CDA would benefit from some proper wheels, with brake discs, and some more discreet couplings.
heres the peco model on my new easi-test-trac - I think the Peco cdas and MGRs get a bit forgotton about sometimes - theres some superb fine underframe detail on them, and theyre nice and crisply moulded. So , Roll on easitrac - literally
