3a. Furlow Canyon Module for sale at Timonium

Hello all - I will be at Timonium this Saturday with Furlow Canyon
for sale. This Ntrak module that can be used as an independent
layout was featured in the Nov 2002 issue of N Scale Railroading.

For those who don't know, it is much more than a 2' by 4' module.
The red, yellow, and blue lines all go over a high bridge over a
deep canyon. There are two independent private lines – one below the
main line level and one above – featuring a variety of bridges,
including a scratchbuilt curved wooden trestle. You can have a lot
of fun running on your own private lines at home, or while waiting
for running time on the main lines at shows. Much design time and
custom construction went into this baby. It always catches alot of
attention - many people have asked if this is narrow guage - it is
not but it seems I have acheived that look & feel, as I intended.

The high line has below standard radius curves but can handle
small steam, 4-axle switchers, and 40' cars. Built in are a dual
power pack and three lockable drawers on the pit side. The two large
drawers hold a lot of rolling stock and are designed to do that even
when the module is on end. The legs fold up and store within the
bottom. It can be maneuvered with one person and a handtruck, or two
persons.

Selling to make room (my building never seems to stop for long).
It is fully functional. Price is $750 with no trains. I can send
pictures if you want to see it in advance (let me know directly at
thunderroad76@yahoo.com).

Thanks,

Mat Chibbaro
