Thanks, I'm glad I got it done. Looks and runs great! I don't know what the deal is with that lock-on. I tried two different ones and they wouldn't clip on.
I didn't realize there was that much of a difference between the regular track and the o27. I know my father had that o27 which I never really got into myself. It will be nice when I get my ho layout out of storage and running.. just currently don't have the room until I get my own place thrn ill be making improvements to what i did. Like feeder wires etc.
