This year NOCH has released a
new set of platforms designed to be used with C-track from Trix and Märklin. This new set of
platforms comes with an added height that brings them up to match the C-track height. I ordered
a pack of the NOCH platforms to check them out.
Trix has announced a new adapter track that will help Fleischmann Profi-Track customers continue
their hobby using the Trix C-track instead.
I recently installed a couple of the larger radius curved turnouts on my layout. They look great and work absolutely fine, but when combined with rolling stock from other manufacturers than Märklin/Trix, they introduce an unexpected problem with bogie type wagons and coaches: Derailments. In this article I will explore the cause and explain you how to fix the problem.

The PIKO A-track has
seen more love in the later years. Last year PIKO introduced a concrete sleeper version of the
track to suit the modern era modellers. This was a welcome change as most track today only has
wooden sleepers. The special thing about the PIKO track was the inclusion of a pair of turnouts
with concrete sleepers. Read the review of the new concrete turnouts.
