He is pretty nonchalant about it, with his hands in his pockets, like he is waiting for you to glue the leg back on.

Thank you for the information and more pictures. I have seen Ross switches used with other brands of track.
This is the first time I have seen a close-up of Ross Track. I get the feeling that I am walking along the track
in your photos, noticing imperfections in the ties.

Like this R.J. Corman track here in Kentucky.

Ya know, I was going to say it looked heavy on cinders, but thought I might embarrass myself. I stand by my first impression, it looks great.

I must be the oldest doofus on here if I'm the only one that remembers Mr. Bill.

Thank you Paul, and it maybe too heavy on the cinders. I tried to look at old pics and come up with the look. It doesn’t help that all the old pics are black and white. I’m also sure there’s something green in that yard somewhere. Norm put some greenery in his yard and it looked pretty legit. I’ll get to it eventually.

And yes I do remember Oh no Mr Bill! :lol:

For those who don't remember Mr. Bill on SNL, here is a repeat of an old Mr. Bill episode: https://youtu.be/M0F3JBzAtE4?si=MSiWB98f59mkCpXV
