Jackpot, again!
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, May 12, 2006 11:33 AM
Last time it was track, $64.00 worth, for half off. This time perfectly good lumber just wide enough to make a pretty simple yet nice three rail layout. All I need is some wire, curved sections, and one or two switches and I can build another layout. All just in time for my fifteenth birthday.

Has this been incredible luck or what?

I'd say you've had a great week. This is the time of year for those kinds of finds though--lumber because people are involved in projects and are discarding their leftovers, and trains because people are doing their spring cleaning. Keep your eyes peeled--the wire could be next.

I lurk around the Viacom guys for wire. They're forever rewiring a distribution box on our street and leave lots of useful loose offcuts about. I worry that it might be too fine for track current but it'll do fine for accessories that run off 12v
