My main layout is on hold until the basement is prepped. So when I saw this at a flea market for $10 last week I jumped on it. I even have the origional review of it in a 1969 MRC mag. It's made by Life Like, The MRC review said it sold for $15, but the carton says $9.95. I remember reading the review and thinking thats pretty cool. So it had flex track when I bought it, with bad joints. So I replaced it with Reliable Unitrack. I had to go out and buy (4) packs of 9.75" Radius Curves. I didn't have any that tight. But it all fit together well, and runs good. The size is 28" x 34" I want to expand it with some switching action, and I'm willing to add one or two similar sized pieces of foam coming off of one or both ends. So put on your thinking caps and give me some ideas to make this a sweet little RR. I don't have one yet but the tight curves scream out for a Shay and a mining or Lumber based RR. Thanks in Advance.

Boy does that bring back some memories. If it were me I would outfit it with structures like the box shows and use it as a circle running display layout.
