They are useful to some but not to me. I use the stock buffer and magnet holder in most all of my designs. The few places where I don't (the nose of big red, for example), I have enough. John Neal might be interested in them, though. (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Larry, the turntable will add a little bit of flex. Considering that John's trains are really long, the angle is substantially less than one would get with 6 wide trains. Also, I would be willing to bet that John is limited to slopes of 1 (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
