091 - Experiment - Code 55 Decision Time

Welcome to Ian's N Gauge channel! In previous videos I’ve shown how I’ve modified the track plan to accommodate the possible use of Peco’s code 55 finescale track system. In this video I’m going to show some of the experiments I performed to enable me to decide whether to go with code 55 for Shelfington, or to stick with the code 80 track that I was more familiar with. Thanks very much for watching, and of course, Merry Christmas!
