TOriginally Posted by Al K.:
I'm bringing this up because the Chattanooga LCCA is having a Fastrack Module get-together (see other recent post), so I decided to review the module specs and cost. I like the module specs with O-84 and O-72 curves, my layout is smaller with O-60 and O-48 loops, so I would enjoy buiding enough modules to be able to setup a temporary modular layout in the garage on occasion.
Anyone know if any dealers are discounting the kits off the MSRP? I might purchase a couple kits to get started, then perhaps "roll my own" ... time and energy dependent. -Ken
Ken,
I believe you have to order these kits on Lionel's on-line store. There are numerous ways to cut some costs. You can build entirely from scratch, you can purchase a kit or you can have someone like TW TrainWorx design and build a custom section. It all depends upon your mechanical skills, time and budget. I recommend people buy at least one template, one straight section, one curved section kit and then duplicate. If you have any questions or want to know of some other cost saving suggestions, please call me at 248 709-4137

That is the direction we are taking at our Club. We bought the template and one straight section kit at York last week. Using that as a guide, we plan to build the rest of the modules ourselves.
