Hey all, Before I begin, let me apologize for not being 'with it' as far as the train lingo goes. I'm just a novice, so please be kind. Before I was an AFOL, I was a model train fan, and to tell the truth I have a sizable collection in storage (HO (...) (19 years ago, 13-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains)

The cars workeed out so well I decide to convert some police bikes I bought last year. The bikes are just as fast, but they crash different. They tend to fall over rather than slide out, a bit like real bikes. (URL) (19 years ago, 13-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains)
