| Looks amazing! What is the dk grey piece you used for tracks? This is one of the best odd-piece solutions I've seen in ages, perhaps ever : ) God Bless, Nathan (19 years ago, 6-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

| Mr.Allemann, you are a god among men. Both in terms of your uncanny good looks and your uncanny Micro skillz. Meeting you at BrickFest was a moment that I'll wish I'd never forget (yet might, cuz I totally sloshed). -Lenny (19 years ago, 6-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

My only complaint is builders like you setting the (...) (19 years ago, 6-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

As Marc mentioned, the track is made up of door rail pieces with tiles on top, fit snugly into the space between the wall of a 1 x 2 panel and an adjacent brick. See the picture below.

Tony Hafner's (URL) 2-Wide Diesel Freight Train> is a great example of a train using this technique. The (...) (19 years ago, 7-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

The rail system might require a few modifications, especially in how the space between the rails is constructed, but I'm pretty sure it could (...)
