NS is experimenting with 3 rail operation.
What are the HO and N scale guys going to do now?
With the onslaught of command control they will probably be better off in most areas to use Lionel’s one wire TMCC version rather than the “Home Run” wired MTH DCS version.However, with the heavily strung “Northeast Corridor”, DCS may have the edge[(-D]
We’ve had three-rail operation on Long Island since the 1920s with trains actualy getting the juice from the thrid rail.
That middle rail should be as polished as the other ones, or else the locos may stall.[:P]
Yeah, they need a Teackman 2000 or some other cleaning car.
Well, you know how the 3rail guys like to paint that third rail to make it less conspicuous[(-D]
Looks like my weathered Gargraves (except the top of my center rail is polished)!

And I take pride in my “hiding” techniques. [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D] I do that to my MTH Realtrax, and use TMCC, hence my screen name.
