An easy way to make some of that track useful is to pull up the bad rail on one peice of track and replace it with a section of good rail from another track before throwing it all away. I don’t buy large quantities of used track because it is too much work.

Sounds like a good canidate for a “dead line”…I would rather have my junkers sitting on a dead line on the layout than stacked in a closet…That’s the way the real railroads do it…and there are the abandoned rail lines, some of which are half buried under blacktopped streets, and run through peoples back yards…Even worthless junk can have a value… The only limit is your imagination…A scrap metal yard on a layout is another possible use…Also, new rails can be seen stacked up in rail yards, awaiting future use…A railcar would look ok loaded with rails also…
He could have made dozens of tipples with those rails:
Go to a train show and bring it along. Slip it under someone elses table when they aren’t looking.
Works with old marx transformers too![:)]
LOL! Great idea.

Another idea stolen from CHOO-CHOO MIKE !

Reminds me of when I had a couple of tickets to the Dixie Chicks in Rochester.
My bad… I left them in plain sight on the dashboard when I had to run downtown on an errand for my boss.
Upon return to my car, parked on the street, the passenger’s side window was smashed out. Somebody broke into my car and left two more tickets.

Heh! OK. I witnessed the master himself, CHOO-CHOO Mike, work this evil transfer. Worked every time.
Mike you better hope Granville doesn’t read this forum![;)]
