Ah, you didn't mention you were looking for Brass track in your PM. Ok, I have plenty of that, yeah I'd trade some of that for your steel turbotrain track. Let me know how much you want, and I'll see what I can come up with , I have Tyco, AHM, Atlas brass track, I think the Tyco was made by the same company that did AHM's, they look identical. I can throw the track in with the other stuff I owe ya in trade.

Actually Justin,

I have several packs of brand new True Steel track still in on the pegboard plastic enclosed card they sold in before you were born.

I have a ton of track. I wish one of you guys who lived near by and needed it could drop by. I hate the thought of tossing it out. Eventually I will...

Hey Justin:

Got any Athearn Caboose shells for trade? not the current ones... this guy:



I have hundreds of pieces of brass track.... now remember I'm in Canada so the shipping is a factor. I could bring a box of it with me on my next trip to my brothers in New York as long as you cover the shipping.

Do you know what ratio of track you want; curves to straights?

Hey Justin:

For the track no charge except for the caboose shells... I don't want the chassis.

By estimate do you mean shipping? I won't know that till I get to my brothers in late September.

So as a rule people need more curves than straights so ratio of 3:1? 3 pieces is a 1/4 of a circle typically.

Hey Justin:

It doesn't look like the Lionel is exactly the same as the Athearn though it's likely Athearn made them both. Maybe some can address that.

So justin what ratio of straight to curved?
