Hey Terry,
 Thanks for sharing again this year, your use of EZ Track and Crossing pieces and curves has always amazed me. Great job

All I want for Christmas is a 2-6-2 a 2-6-2....
I believe a Prairie would go great with Bachmanns On30 line.

I just received my pre-ordered copy today. Looking forward to reading Lee's article and as usual all look great!!

Enjoy,
  Barry

I noticed a $5.oo increase in regular price from last year's $19.95.
Early bird special at $22 instead of $24.95 until 3/31 I think.

Enjoy

I am trying something new this year NO PROCRASTINATING!
I just ordered my On30 Annual online instead of waiting for Trainfest in Milwaukee in mid Nov. 
I also saved almost 3 bucks.

YABBA DABBA DOOOOO!!!

Hey Paul,

       There is a special piece of track that MUST be on the end of the line. Please also check that as it too will cause that problem.

Enjoy,
  Barry

+Flare,
   I have this track cleaning car in On30 and just Love it.
I only use the pads not the sand paper pads as I think this would be too abrasive,  :
