Hey everyone,

 

Decided to kill the Trolley line running through my city area. The trolley was running like crap on it. I picked up some SuperStreets and decided to go with roads around the city.

 

Here is a running video of what I have setup so far:

 

 

Still trying to find more D21 curves, 10" straights and some straight to curved pieces.

 

Enjoy,

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.

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.

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.
