From Power Loc to Cork Bed Volume 1

The conversion begins! This video is just a slideshow of the progress of replacing 15' of track on my layout with Atlas Code 100 track. The new Atlas track is going to replace the older Power Loc and EZ track and eventually the entire layout will consist of Atlas Track. For now here is 15' of the mainline replaced along with a new precision turnout installed.

I love power loc but I wish it had more opinions of track like Bachmann's EZ track and I wish it came (at least the nickel silver stuff) came molded in like a tie color then you can just put blast on it and have good track. I have had the same track for more than 15 years never had a problem. Great Track

@LycoValleyRRFan Right, I agree it would be better if they had more options, power loc is good for running on carpet or for layouts taken down after the operating session, I switched to the atlas because of a more permanent setup that I have.

[trainman1986]

@trainwreckmaster For the most part mine ran ok on this setup, but some of the dash 9s and longer locos didn't really like the 18in radius curves very much

all i  use is cork good chioce it looks good !

[trainman1986]

I agree the cork is a welcoming change. And it is easy to modify and change if you need to make adjustments.

Cool! I got a 4'x8' HO scale layout in the process of expansion, and the new added on will be cork and track, and on the 4x8 its now Powerloc track and i will be putting conversion pieces in, until I eventually convert it over.
