Started working on some SuperStreets.

Thanks for the video.  'Streets is a lot of fun, isn't it?  Nice looking layout and a good area up front in the video with central "city block" with the drive in and train store. 

I didn't know they drive on the left hand side of the streets on Long Island NY! Here in MA we occasionally do .... when the bars let out.

Fun video.  That looks good.  The SuperStreets are a very nice addition.  A great way to add some animation to layouts.

It is hard to find the SuperStreets D21 curves.  The Bachmann version is out there though...E-Z Streets.  They are a different color.

I recently picked up some SS track and the Lionel TMCC delivery truck.  Will be added them to my carpet layout soon.  I want to add a stop circuit so the truck pauses at my Tinplate Lionel Factory.

Lol Paul, Sorry about that. Like I said, it was a test run. Didn't even think about which direction they were running. I was just happy they were running at all. Picked up some more track today. Loops are complete, just need a few more straight to curve pieces to help smooth out the cars running.

Eventually I will add streets to my layout.... when I do would you recommend E-Z streets or SuperStreets?

Thanks!

EZ-Street and Superstreets are the same - exactly - except the color of the road surface is darker in EZ, the color of new asphalt as opposed to two-year old asphalt (Superstreets).  Use either, or mix and match, it all works together: I have roads made out of combinations of both.   The Bachmann vans are a bit better than K-Line by Lionel vehciles because they have slightly better center pickup assemblies, but any of the vheciles work with any of the track and vice versa.

Thanks guys.... next question

Do you have a good spot to buy them?

I buy mine at Klein (modeltrainstuff.com).  I have not checked in the last week or so but them typically have a lot of Bachman stuff and a few old Superstreets pieces.  Western Depot still has a few of the original K-Line vehicles for sale (product code K2629).

Thanks Lee,

I use Model Train Stuff a lot.  They always seem to have the best prices.

SideTrack Hobbies has a good selection of Super Streets.  May want to give them a call.

Looks great and thanks for sharing. I'm working on getting my streets running as well. Terry

 

Hay Gromet, Don't worry about it. A good drink is Ok to have every once in a while.

 

Just kidding love your SuperStreets, thanks for sharing.

 

Here is the track the D21 outside loop in place and the cars running in the "right" directions. Gonna have to paint it all so it matches down the road when I scenic the area. 

 

Also installed my new MTH Fire Department. Last place on the front row is going to be for the Lionel Aquarium. 

 

Now I have to see if I can find a few more different style vehicles. All I have seen are vans and delivery trucks.
