Here are some pictures of Tyco locomotives and rolling stock on my layout -- I have more Tyco Engines and Cars that are not in these pictures -- don't think i could fit all of them on this layout -- Enjoy!

Smokey -- will measure the building -- it is not big enough for what i am wanting to do - but right now - don't have a choice - is better than nothing though. I will get an over head shot and post for you. My radius on the curves - i used code 83 -24 radius as a guide to lay roadbed down for inside track and then used flex track code 100. The outside curved was laid parallel to the inside by eyeing. I don't know radius of it. The wider you can do curves -- looks better and lessens chance for derailments running long equipment and using code 100 ensures you can run old and new. i originally had code 83 --had too many problems even with new stuff. Tyco cars will not run on code 83 unless you put metal wheels on them and some locomotives will run w/o tie tapping while others bounce like crazy

Micro; the RB caboose is a Tyco, I got one for $4 at a "used train store" within Traintown, USA over the summer. I believe it came with the trian in the freight sets. Now I just need to find my steamer... D.J. (Yeah, I'm "that kid"... Deal.)
