Im just making the move over to PF because of how uniform it will look with ballast. Plus my plan is to only use it in roads when I manage to LUGBULK parts for MILS roads.

So if you need 9V, I have around 50 straights to trade.

curve would be 1:1 trade.

Wont be able to, too much wedding stuff going on.

I was sitting in my personal train layout room and was looking at my ME Models track saying I needed more.
Does anyone have some they do not wish to have they would like to part with?

Also I’m willing to trade some my 9V track for PF at a 3:1 ratio if anyone is interested.

LOOOOOOONG time no see or talky.

So has anyone got their track and actually used it for trains? Also has anyone bought the silver ABS track?

First roads:
Are we going to use all black as our road standard? I think it looks sleek and great, but the downfall to the black is that once you start to scratch it up and move it from show to…Read more

OR LAQUIRE(spelling is hard) THINNER!!!!!!! Just watch out it will melt the ABS and cause streaks, but if you are quick about your work, just apply the thinner(s) to a soft cloth and wipe in a downward motion until its gone, ur good.
