I had them... simple answer I bought two boxes of them back in the day and I need straight track so I wasn't sure yet if GG makes them in plastic  then again like I told Ted I might at a show see the track all in a bundle and get it then ... Monroville Greengerg show  Sat 11 7/8 2015 

 

I always was a BIG BIG super O guy but did that done that Plus had trouble running a old marx train set on it .. SO tubular 027 I did when I first made my layout when I was 18  never // fasttrack under tree  never did O  gauge layout nor a gargraves layout..

 

I do like super O switches though! but time will tell// DANiel

 

If Ted is reading this  forgot to mention I love to make a 4x8 or 5x9 but I like longer trains and like some room in between...

TED! you are a team player! thank-you for your thoughts .. What I liked about the original layout was I still can put some buildings on (MY granddaughter) got me going again! and my wife liked what I did under the tree last year.. Went to LOWES got some Christmas animated buildings! Michaels has Halloween animated buildings ! Funny no one gave my layout a second look (I have 4 girls  1 wife and 1 granddaughter BUT with those two building they WANT MORE LOL!

 

Anyways my desire is to run my Santa Fes 2243 Ihave two lots of postwar diesels 622 6220 6250 etc the diesels have AB plus 5 cars making it @8 feet long  lo I did not want it to lok like a big snake on the track!  so 10 or 12 feet long this time NO MORE 5 to 6 feet wide my legs can't jump on the table no more LOL!

 

So look at his original and  IF you can see something to  make the trains look  like they have room to go would be GREAT!..Thanks again  you been VERY helpful tomorrow is the Greenberg show in Monroeville PA  

 

I am open to track selection  .. I saw ATLAS that look great! I do have somee starter Fastrack form Lionel I might conceder but if a good deal comes up I get it!..

Is that the flying fraction on the high line?

Nice layout and a shame you are replacing it. The only real problem with it was those PENN Dot trucks were moving.

The only thing missing from the song is a little Joe Negri style guitar
