Layout Disaster

[48Fan]

Well my toilet supply line decided it didnt want to be connected anymore! That resulted in a whole house flooding!
Bummer enough but the carpet installers said the layout HAD to be moved or no carpet back in that room!
After the shock wore off, and 50 days in a hotel room to boot, I have to put it back together. Well my dilema is I previously started the tracklaying with shinohara code 70 that I have been collecting
for the last 20 years. Now trying to find flextrack is impossible! Soooo do I keep looking for shinohara supplies or change out to Atlas code 55?? I thought I would be exempt from the problems of oversize
wheels and such using the old track. Now I am debating how to get started again.
Of course I have to ask all the "experts" and see what the general opinion is on old equipment compared to new.
Any advice to help change or stay with what I have, 20 years worth of collecting switches but not flex! DOH!! Would be appreciated.

There is always ME Code 70. It's available.

Lo profile wheels look better... It's how I stopped worrying and learned to love Atlas c55.

Tell the carpet guys to use carpet squares - or find employment elsewhere

Thanks Tony, maybe I will look into ME track and see if I can get what I need.

Thats what I keep telling the right side of my brain Lee!!

I agree with John

Cheapo carpet squares and you can cut them to fit around the benchwork. Then if you ever rip the layout down or move, rip up the squares and toss down a nice single piece of half a$$ carpet to make the new owners happy

Well as much as I wish I would have thought of that, the damage is done! The carpet guys won and I tore the layout down!
