Since january 10, the rails have never been B-BOYed again! In fact, the two 'looper' trains that run at a scale speed of, oh, 20-25 mph ALL NIGHT during public-viewing evening while sporting a wireless camera NEVER STOP!! <br /> They truly just keep going and going....... <br />I'm not sure what code the rail is, but since this is done only ONCE, no code is in danger of being 'sanded to nothin'!'. Also doing our HOn3 endowment, and the code 100[hidden] and 83 [exposed] levels and helix on the mega-HO project. Remember, the electric arc carbon flux residue that is created from the current sparking it's path between factory-finished rail stock is the 'black gunk' that accumilates with each pass of the train, not the plastic wheels.
