MBA has 5 times as many C55 #5s as code 80 #4s in stock. Which sells out first? Can we get a doomsay style countdown clock based on the number in stock?

BLW took about a week to sell out, assuming they both started with the same amount.

I don't think that BLW orders quite as many as MBK.

I placed an order with BLW last Friday, and I just received the confirmation that they are shipping my order for sixteen turnouts today.  I guess I got lucky and beat the crowd before they sold out.

Seven lefts and nine rights.  Guess I'm helping that ratio for a preference of more rights.

I know Cory said that the engineering was the same as previous batches but I'm curious to get a first hand account of the construction on these new TO's.

Maybe they'll show up on eBay for $20 per turnout. :P


Hmm... no, I'm gonna
charge $25 per turnout...


Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Now 254 lefts and 254 rights.  Does seem odd, but, going, going . . .

I was gonna order a couple ME #6s, but I think I'll wait a few days. They must have the whole crew in the warehouse packing Atlas #5's as fast as they can.  I don't want to throw a cog in the machine and slow down all you guys' new freight yards.

So what is everyone's excuse not to build a layout now?

I can't build yet still waiting on 600' of flex and #7's and #10's. Then i can build.
