    LONG train cam video....

    Gordon Lightfoot sang that, and it did sound like him. The video trip was 17 minutes plus, and (correct me if I'm wrong) I didn't see the same scenery repeated anywhere in the whole movie. The Edmonton club lists it's mainline track as 380 feet plus, and they have quite an impressive website...

    Check out this "train cam" video, it takes a very long time to load, but it is well worth it ! This layout must be about the size of New Jersey... it is awesome, even on the small screen. Once again, it takes an unusually long time to "load", but stay with it.... and it will play. Bob...

    bachman HO ez-track crossovers

    Denny... I have heard from too many guys that B'mann crossovers are infamous for problems right out of the box, however I have four on my layout and they work great. First off, I do not believe a "riveted" version is available, second: B'mann's service phone number is 800-356-3910 (and I...
