 | | More 4 Wides!

| Here are a few more pics of some of my 4 wides. Notice the track on which they sit-- it's gray ladders laid end to end. The ladders work great because they are *exactly* HO gauge (the trucks *are* HO). It was my son's idea, so I told him I'd post (...) (24 years ago, 24-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains) !!
