I think Lagas creek has them for $20 bucks. i have a couple of used ones I'm not using because guest have to much trouble with them. I liked them until someone did not know how to use them.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Or until some visitor, animal, branch, or errant frisbee takes them and the head ties out.
I have absolutely NO upright stands on the CCRy, and there are about 75 turnouts.
Tenmille Ground Throws work best.

Thank you, Marty and TOC. I am a real novice at this, but I do know that ground throws work very well for me in N scale. My wife and I are buying a new home, and with her able assistance, I'm looking forward to building our first garden railroad. Hoot
