I’ve been wanting to get Atlas N True Track to replace my the old Rail on my 2x4 layout from two loops to one, (To fix the issue with the Rail coming off the roadbed, I wanted to try gluing it on with a bit of plastruct plastic weld) I have some Treble O Lectric bits I want to rebuild into an Amtrak F7 from the 70s if Lone Star continued to produce OOO gauge Models to the same standard using Die-cast (The locomotive will be powered by the Rear Truck) my question is, will the old model run on the modern track or would I have to replace the wheel sets with newer slimline nickle silver ones?
The Lone Star Treble O Lectric rails were slightly higher than the usuual N scale code 80 rails of today and I think it is safe to assume, that the wheels of Treble O Lectric locos and cars are to thick to pass through switches and the flanges too deep to run properly on N scale rails.
Again, this may be the wrong forum to ask this type of question. Yoy may get better answers in the Classic Toy Train forum.
I think that is a question you might have better luck in asking the TREBLE O groups. I have a bunch of Treble O stuff and the last time I had some inquiries I got answers. As time passes they seem to be much less active. Google Treble O and see where it leads, but I would not hold your breath. I think I checked out N scale track about 15 years ago and it was a none starter.
All my Treble O plastic is getting pretty brittle and the bakelite parts in the locos have disintegrated. My boxes of memories reside in the closet and one day when I go and have a look, dust is all I will see.[(-D]
