I have to agree with you on your post Tom. I only have an 8x12 layout with about 70 autos and trucks, but it sounds like it will double. One thing I did not see was the new Athern line of trucks. I picked up 2 last week and they are nice for the money. Forget that they are 1/50th, my business area is at the back of the layout and with forced perspective you do not notice the difference. Mike

Well...heck! I didn't see any 1:43 or 1:48 FARMALL TRACTORS...did I miss it? But that 1:48 DC-3 might work for any of you that have a landing strip on your layout.

Small Layouts are cool! Low post counts are even more cool! NO GRITS in my pot!!!

Sorry Jimbo,

I only find a bunch of John Deeres.
