    My Custom US Army Layout

    Very cool layout. Thanks for sharing all the pictures. But, I am not sure what you mean by "track clips" in regard to the cut turnout sections. Do you have a picture?

    3-D Printed 3443 Disabled Car pickup

    Don't you have to add the metal rails? Other than old track, is there a supply of rails you use?

    I’m completely consumed with US1

    Excellent start. I got my start as an adult (I missed the US1 products because I was busy in college) when I went to a train show swap meet.

    Favorite items?

    My favorite accessory is the 3410 crane pipe loader. It has simple mechanics and never fails to perform for me. As for trucks anything that has lights. Still want a shiny chrome tanker.

    Custom Gold Mine Hopper Build

    Not a bad price for the sealed box, but still worry about disintegration of the rubber after 40-50 years even in a sealed box. There has to be a way to create this.

    Custom Gold Mine Hopper Build

    Great kitbashing of the Tyco train accessories for use with US1. I have a few of these, but the conveyor belts are disintegrating. Not trying to change the thread topic, but any ideas on where to get a replacement belt?

    Separate vs grouped controller - any difference?

    I actually prefer the separate controllers. I can give one to my kids to hold and I'll have one in hand.
