No way, Just a small piece of track with a couple industries to switch.  At least Z does has a K-4.

Was it made by Minitrix

Enough of merriment lets get back to the issue. When are they going to be ready David. I want 6 sets. Just take all the rivets off so we cannot count them and leave off the top door/lid/hatch (no wonder I do not want it too confusing) and the lift rings then you will not upset anyone  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Regards

Al

Um... those are Z scale...

When you have the time, I wouldn't mind if those were bumped up to 1:160. How else am I going to stop a train full of DB4s?

I know I saw Pennsy bumpers in N somewhere before...it was Walthers! But they are out of stock/
But after comparing theirs to NZT, I'll pray that DKS has a change of heart!

...because I'm SERIOUS about stopping cars!

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

I would rather have a manufacturer that is a little more N Scale friendly. Plus, one who is among us on the Railwire and builds a great new product just from someone asking. That is how you earn business.

Oh, I totally agree. Plus, the Walthers ones don't look nearly as good.

Quick clarification, those are not Walthers, they are Model Train Stuff.

I've got several of them, and they look pretty decent.

Bought mine through scenic express a while back. Would prefer the DKS version.

Oh no, don't let the Ink-man see that comment!  He has already blown up my email!

Wooh! Thanks for catching that, Eric. They do look nice, it's just DKS's look nicer. Join me in throwing more cizzash at him.
