That's really neat. Are you planning on building a permanent layout?

Thanks, DaCheez!
I do plan on building a permanent layout at some point. We just don't have the room right now. In the next house we are looking for a basement. My wife wants a craft space and I want a layout.
My vision is to have a road and rail layout where the trains and trucks load each other. The piggyback loader and textile mill will integrate well into box cars and TOFCs.

That would be pretty awesome. I've seen some nice layouts where slotcars and trains are combined. Having the trucks and trains interact with each other would take it to a whole new level Good luck and post some pics once you get started!
