    I don't know Livesteam, it might be a bit heavier, so it might take a few more cars. To bad I don't have like 40 cars to test it out :) That's great Zman :) You can make a very nice layout in a very small space.

    Wow Robert, that's terrible news! :eek: I didn't know that the sun could mess it up that much. My trainroom has no direct sunlight comming into it, bit it's terribly hot up there right now, like 37deg. I checked my rails and they seem fine. I recieved my 4th AZL ;) It got in a few weeks ago...

    I finished the biggest frame of the 2 end modules today. It's very rigid and will make the perfect base :) Tomorrow I got the day off, so hopefully I can finish the other end module then. (pics soon) I'm looking at this layout kit to start learning how to make scenery. Because I'm a...

    Great review Robert! The shell looks awesome :eek: I'm really surprised to see it have that much detail, it's beyond my expectations. I'm also glad it runs so smooth, can't wait to run one myself :)

    Robert, could you do me a little favor? Make some shots of that GP-35, I'm really interested in that model. I seen the chassis and it looks very promising, I wonder how it looks with the shell on it. I also wonder what the other secret MTL model will be, could you give me a hint? :) I...

    You mean the brief cases in the pictures above? I don't have the slightest clue to be honest, you could be able to make something like that with $3000? I might be way off...
