I've had good experiences with the MU2 motor, but still more than I'd fork over for a Tyco piece.
Of course, RP just HAD to mention the Tyco Airport. Saw one on eBay for $22. Now where in the world am I going to put it?? Armadilloville may have to expand...

That is a goofy price. Just when I thought I was out, they dragged me back in...bid on a Tyco Airport, thinking it would never happen, and my low bid was the only bid. Ka Ching. Then I saw the Tyco Post Office set, threw down a low bid, and forgot about it. Ka Ching. I thought I was out...spent last night trying to see how much I could expand Aramadilloville...two feet? Three? Three two inches? I'm sliding boys, sliding...

I am going to add 6 inches to one 20 foot side of my layout. I need more side tracks to display my train cars on... This will add 60 to 80 feet of extra track with switches from track to track... I have been studying, how that I want to add the section to one side. I was thinking about making it fairly simple to remove but after more thought I realized it will have 75 more train cars sitting on it...making it not reasonable to remove...

Six inches by 20 feet. How in the world you gonna do that? I bought a power saw at the pawn shop yesterday- you can borrow it when I'm done expanding Armadilloville.

What I will do Chops is go to Lowe's and buy a 4X8 board , the same ones as my tabletops are. I will let Lowe's cut me three, 6 inch strips 8 foot long with their cutting equipment so I get really nice, straight pieces... Then make the small 2x4 frame to add it to....
AND, I believe I am going to pass on that F unit for auction!!

Ooooh, that's a great piece for the guy who has the magnet crane. BTW, are we in a bidding war over that Vernon's Ginger Ale Switcher?
Hmmm, they crudded it up with Kadee's and might be a nightmare to re-install good old X24's, may step back from this one. Well, the die is cast...hey, if you want it, go for it. I never knew this one existed, but a coupler swap might very well be more trouble than it is worth. I haven't put any max bid on it.

I only bid up to half as much as my final bid just to try to keep the price down then surprise them with a snipe.

Nope...I did not bid on that Ginger Ale Switcher, as it was definitely a custom-job....Tyco never made a Vernon Ginger Ale Switcher, as far as I know.

Definitely don't want to turn that truck into a track cleaner, Walt. It is VERY hard to find, and expensive at that.

Those US 1's going to fetch $500??? Only Bill Gates is going to swipe at that, if he doesn't already have ten of them.

Thanks Ken. I just got back from vacation and saw a few complaints lodged, I guess it's all cleaned up.

Would someone care to let this seller know that this piece is the worst of its kind ever to be offered on EBay... It’s not even remotely restorable... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tyco-Slot-Car-Track-Road-Rail-Hazard-Crossing-Diamond-Pattern-5759-5752/303146010635?hash=item4694e9080b&_trkparms=ispr%3D1
