My main layout is on hold until the basement is prepped. So when I saw
this at a flea market for $10 last week I jumped on it. I even have
the origional review of it in a 1969 MRC mag. It's made by Life Like,
The MRC review said it sold for $15, but the carton says $9.95. I
remember reading the review and thinking thats pretty cool. So it had
flex track when I bought it, with bad joints. So I replaced it with
Reliable Unitrack. I had to go out and buy (4) packs of 9.75" Radius
Curves. I didn't have any that tight. But it all fit together well,
and runs good. The size is 28" x 34"
I want to expand it with some switching action, and I'm willing to add
one or two similar sized pieces of foam coming off of one or both
ends. So put on your thinking caps and give me some ideas to make this
a sweet little RR. I don't have one yet but the tight curves scream
out for a Shay and a mining or Lumber based RR. Thanks in Advance.
