    thoughts on how to spend 300 dollars.

    Proto GP60 Thats a very nice product from Walthers. A little pricey w\Tsunami sound ,but you`ll thank yourself later . IMO it`s almost always better to get the factory installed Sound w\ DCC . Also as stated previously 18"radius`are fine as long as you don`t try to run 6 axel Locomotives.

    wobbling cars

    Wobble You may try taking a truck and truck screw to a hardware store and purchacing the smallest thinest Brass washer they have . The truck screw must easily fit in the washer center hole . Place truck on rolling stock and washer on screw . Carefully tighten screw . This usually works for me .
