I think that we are lucky that Bachmann has picked up the STREETS product. If they had not, we would have been without a great product in O gauge. They have even produced the long awaited turnouts and 21 inch radius curves!!! I think it is a bit much to expect any company to have the unlimited money and manpower to instantly produce everything we would like. They do have other product lines that they have to allocate their resources to.
Lee's books ARE the go to sources for anyone interested in this product. He expertly covers all the questions from vehicles to road pieces and applications. I have both of them and believe me they are a BARGAIN!!!!
Many folks that want the "one color" roadway look just paint it one color. In the prototype world, I notice that road color changes due to time and use. There are "patches" and "cracks" that are filled with fresh new darker materials than the rest of the surface.
Let's be thankful Bachmann picked up the product.
