Nice to see the company actively listening to people. I'm sure they want to make it a success just as we want to see more from them. |

I have just received my first set, it appears to be the newly tooled track as well.
I am looking forward to having a go at building some track myself, having seen David's article on the 1:450 blog. My intention is to use steel strip for the rails if possible as it should be easier to produce switchblades, frog rails etc...

Still waiting for my track to arrive but I hope when it does it will be the latest generation. _________________ Do not feed the densha. |

I ordered my set 2 weeks ago from PlazaJapan and it is the latest track style. I'm quite impressed with it but it'll be getting a lapping of paint shortly. |

Hey Steven! Welcome to the T gauge forums. Given the size of this stuff it's not a far cry from TTD sprites . What are you painting yours in?
Regards,

Hey Dan, True that... I'm still not over the tiny-ness.
It'll just be making sure the ballast looks like ballast and that the sleepers are wooden...
I'm still coming to terms with all other aspects before I put more time into the track... My set has a dodgy bogie on one of the non-powered trailers and I need to get it all up to my liking before any more effort goes into it.
David, your work on handlaying track is simply insane and awesome. I do love the outcome. _________________ Steven Hoefel.
