In answer to J-D's question: The (still-magical to me) CNC Router does that all in one program pass. Actually, when we get into actual production on this layout, the CNC will rout the ties (where there are none on the traditional Lionel O-27 Sectional track) into the Medex board, creating the same effect as the time-consuming bending of Gargraves track to O-27 dimensions (which was a definite one-time-only adventure!) So it looks like the idea of an Entry-Level 4X8 LionChief Layout will work! We'll need a minimum of ten sales to go into production. We'll know the price by Thursday at York, both for this layout and the Three-Train Entry-Level LionChief 4x8. Yes, there are actually two 4x8s in the works for York, plus the Angela Trotta Thomas 4x8! But it's only Monday! Stay tuned!
