Its been a couple years since this stuff was announced and I haven't heard anything since. Now that the smoke fluid loader is shipping, expander paste has to be the next thing on the long time backlog. Does anyone know when its supposed to ship? I have a 3" gap in the mainlines that I've been waiting 2 years to close up. The product number is 6-OU812.
Thanks!

I think I saw where that is now shipping. Unfortunately, it's being delivered by...

At first I thought you were kidding ... kinda like an April fools joke or something. But when I Googled it, I found out that it's a real thing. Check out this video from Lionel on how it works:

I don't like all the precautions. I would never use that stuff.
From Mr Water: "...one born every minute".
Or - is Stu just adding to the spoof? We may never know...
We have it in stock!

...I thought the EPA pulled this stuff because it didn't conform to all 3 goals of the mantra 'reduce, reuse, recycle'
I dunno what's so great about expander paste - My layouts ALL expand to fit ALL the available space without any help whatsoever.

Every minuet? I thought it was one every foxtrot.

I guess inexpensive do-it-yourself productions have enabled proliferation of online April Fool's jokes. Check out this one. Real head-scratcher, as in why would anyone devote the time and resources?
I heard the ship date was February 31st.....
Gentlemen,
Actually if you know how to cut custom FasTrack pieces with a Rockwell X2 Saw, you do not need any of this expander, and the custom made FT pieces are much stronger.

When does the version for tubular track ship?
JTrains,
The version for Conventional Tubular Track shipped long ago, it's called soldering!

Will it work to lengthen pretty much anything?
I finally found the paste in the catalog, it was right next to the left hand smoke diverter.

Hmmm... Maybe it has its uses after all.
Just remember "If Fastrack Expander Paste begins to smoke, seek shelter and cover your head."
Great stuff!
