I heard to stay away from Atlas Trainman Locomotives..but is their rolling stock ok?????

so..guess an operating mid-range car would be for me...... keeping the cost down./..however, maintaining abit of quality for longivity and durability !!..so $10-$15 per car?????

Thanx alot for the time you put in to reply "umtrr-author" ,.... awesome and a lil more positive lol I will consider ALL thoughts for sure !!!!!

oooh ok thanx "davidstrains" slowly getting it lol

"umtrr-author" - heres the size of what I am talking about Left side depth (24")..Width of whole board (96"+)...Right side depth (40") = front will be angled, of course

That too I am deciding how to put up the board for access as I add stuff...NOT concerned about either end...I will get to it! The 22 " max was for the flex track to bend at one end..make sense?
