| Very nice Ken. Tell me, when you get home with something like this, do you get it track ready and run it around a time or two?

I saw that, I was wondering what a "power assisted style trailing" truck was?

Nice. Is it really "powered". That beast (I have the 50's version) does not need any help to increase pulling!
