You want a tight curve, any scale?

Half-0 Penn Line mini-dismal, ran on track the inner rail of which was a silver dollar.

I have one of those.

Looks surprisingly like the BM unit, unless you tilt to get the bifocals into play.

Thanks Tom, I've been on Carl's micro layout website for a couple of years now, so I'm pretty adept at the micro universe, its alot of fun Big Smile [:D]

I think this new track is at the inner edges of practicality, any smaller and you'd have to custom scratch build everything to fit the track Shock [:O]

   Have fun with your trains

Sorry Tom but there are two big give-a-ways -

1) One of the locos is the little Bachmann side rod diesel everyone is talking about and its only available in On30 currently.

2) Second, the screen name of the author of the video - TexOn30

Jims Pizza RR:   Link to video.

 Vic: this one looks to be tighter than yours, are you goning to let someone make something smaller than yours?  I know; just wait for the A/C 21 inch to arrive.
