Wow, now thats interesting.

Ya, I guess the tight curves might present a bit of a challenge!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

hon30critter I have to get me one of these in HO scale - one that actually works! http://twistedsifter.com/videos/moving-assembly-line-installs-railroad-tracks-in-real-time/ Dave

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

Hi Mark R:
That's pretty neat! Too bad its too modern for my era.
This won't lay the track, but will help maintain it ....

Wow!
Then you could get the needed battalion of figures to represent all the technicians that follow to keep it running.
