    EZ Track, yes or no?

    All that snap track is trash and not worth the time nor money. I have some and the rail is starting to break away from the ties. Lot's of derailment problems. It'll keep happening more and more as the track gains age. Go with Atlas. If ya wanted you could take what you have an Ebay it to get rid...

    Getting cooler

    Well, this is what happens when they scream ice here in cajon country. We go balistic. Very rare do we see such but ice is more common than snow. It's every blue mood when that happens. It's sleeting here as I speak.

    Am I on to something?

    Engineshop, I think the longest track is able to hold 7-8 cars and I'm not sure about the shorest track. Galen, I know it looks that way lol. I had to change it to something a little easier on the eyes because after staring at white for a few hours your eyes start to hurt. Russ, this...

    Viaduct Closet Module

    announce1 I also have to agree with this. Ya know, A few years ago I bought the Kibri "Spacelifter" crane that was about $160 retail.

    This is a large car. (Truck)

    Hmmmm, Freightshaker and K whopper I know of but didn't know about the others. As far as I knew for many years that "large car" was intended as the meaning of a truck with a super sleeper or sleeper of an un average/standard size.

    This is a large car. (Truck)

    No. It wasn't lacking a whole lot from being completed but a couple of my box's got dropped (what you get when you let someone else help you move) and unfortunitly that truck was in one of them.

    HO Scale Intermodal Crane

    Can you believe how much they want for that? Someone else posted a link to the maker and just for th static kit is $2,500 plus $350 to ship. A working "kit" is $3,500 plus $350 to ship. If thats the case, I wonder how much an assembled kit would cost. They won't produce many of these do to the...
