2sk21, handlaid track, imho, always looks better. What do you model now? Welcome to the gauge! :-)

A guy I usd to work with- when he was younger- put a steel rod across the rails and ran away. The railway police came to his house that night and told his parents- he got the smack of his life needless to say. :mrgreen:

Squidbait, some of those Tri-ang stuff used to be manufactured in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Hi Jef. I know about that DCS- I've got one too. I mean this busines of lawsuites?

Love the way you made the crushed cars.

Brutus- SUPER news!! Guys- Whats this business of DCS??

Justin- This is a great place to be until you start modelling, as you say- you'll find many ideas.

I also used to think that on the prototype the power just came from the over heads and thats it.

Kevin I just wanted to say that I love your new avatar- sorry to go off topic.

MilesWesern Happy Early Birthday!! TruckLover Glad to see that you're not going to have a "Spaghetti Bowl" of tracks. I personally like it when there is lot's of scenery or scenes- it looks more realistic. I love operating more than watching. Hey I'm still young too- only 22!
