For Mark the Menards guy- a suggestion rubber road bed

I wish Menards would take over the K-Line Shadow rail line. 

Dave,

I also love Johnsons and you can add me to the list of folks that wish Menards would pick it up.

FYI : the two styles are for 0 gauge & 027...the one with the ballast on the edge only is for 027 and 0 gauge snuggles down nicely in the three holes of the other. 

Is there a reason why this thread is in 3 rail scale sub forum instead of hi-rail subforum?

The Rubber Roadbed would be great, especially in Gray....Hey Menards, how about continuing the Tubular O Gauge and O72 Switches????

Tie placement would be critical and I doubt that Lionel , K-line and Menards O gauge track ties would all line up. They would have to design the roadbed open like the O-27 roadbed that Johnson used to make, that would make the roadbed ubiquous to all manufactures tubular track.

I agree Keith that's why I like the open. I have some O Scale so it has been made before. I accidently purchased some O27 so I know they made 2 sizes of the open.

If they make it I will be in for some.

FYI: The Johnson standard gauge roadbed also was the "drop in" open style and fit ALL tie configurations. The advantages of this rubber roadbed are noise abation and non-slip adhesion.

 Mark, 

I’d like to see a Dog n Suds drive in. At one time these stands dotted the landscape of the US. Many still exist. This drive-in would be at home  on a layout modeling the 1950s to the present.

This building could fit long and narrow area on a layout.

6 or 8 parking stalls total would be enough.

Mark.. hello... I  like to see a small station.. like Lionel 157 .. But  built the same way you've been doing! . maybe some lighted up signs   on the fence "like Lionel  had but they did  not light up  " .. figures and dog included.. and anything  else you can think of.. 50's 60's style for me Thanks..daniel
