I have to get me one of these in HO scale - one that actually works!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Wow!
Then you could get the needed battalion of figures to represent all the technicians that follow to keep it running.

This won't lay the track, but will help maintain it ....

Hi Mark R:
That's pretty neat! Too bad its too modern for my era.
Okay!!!
Now, let's see it wrap itself around an 18 inch radius HO curve, or its full-scale equivalent.
Note also, in order for it to lay those new rails on new ties it had to ride rails that were already there

Ya, I guess the tight curves might present a bit of a challenge!
Wow, now thats interesting.
