Ah! Yeah, makes sense. Because we've discussed backdrop options (painted versus photo) for T-TRAK.

Photo backdrops on TTrak is very doable IMHO --

There are no backdrops in Free-mo, which makes it very aesthetically challenging for me.

Oh yeah.  I agree 100%.

Cheerio!

Sure there are.  You just have to get the fat guy in the other aisle to wear a pale blue shirt and brown pants.

Let's change Lee's statement to: "You just have get all the fat guys in the other aisle to wear pale blue shirts and brown pants."

That ought to do it for about 16 feet of modules...

Cheerio!

Dave,

Really enjoyed scrolling through this thread..... Many many many moons ago your PRR on a door inspired me to give that a try myself.  Now This thread is inspiration for kicking tires on some T-trak

Looking forward to following the progress here..

Was that the old brass K4 on the TTrak module?

Nope, that was one of my three Bachmann K4s. And I never noticed how crooked the factory lettering was on that thing!
