    Roller Coasters

    Thanks. I fully understand the science, in fact I only have room for a little more than half a coaster. So mine will have a batch of cars glued mid way down a hill. I'm hoping to set it in a corner around a trolley loop.

    some pictures from my Dioramas

    The natural light enhances all of you work to the point that at first glance I thought the site was the real thing. Such a devotion to detail must be a great gift. (I rarely comment, and mostly admire all of the work everyone presents, but this one caught my eye)

    Brass Track

    Hello I'm thinking about returning to the hobby after a 25 years of inactivity. I still have all the brass track and turnouts stored away. I believe there are 8 number 8's and some number 6's turnouts and many feet of flex track, several full circles of 22" radius and 18" too. Also many...
