Re: Train Table Guard Rail

Hi. Interesting product…I hope you do well.

Would you consider changing the wording, most of the way down where you tell us that the panels are “6” tall and for O guage" to:

“The samples shown are those for O guage, which are 6” high. All gauges available with appropriate scale rendering of the motif." or something along those lines so that your viewers don’t quickly dismiss the offer thinking that it is for O gauge only.

could have used that yesterday. good luck i think its a great idea. Dave

Thank you for the feedback. I made some changes to the wording.

Im not limited to train guages on size. I could make it 1:1

but thats going to take a lot of material.

Dave

I saw your post about you wreck We can help you with that. At least it won’t make it to the floor.

Interesting idea! I model on HO scale modules, and have clear Lexan on the front of my modules, 6" high mostly to keep spectators’ fingers off the modules at public shows. So I know it does work. (I got it for free!).

Your 6" high material is $11.50 for 24", or $5.75 per foot. For my 8 feet of modules this would be $46.00 plus shipping. Not bad in my case, but I can see where cost would be a major factor for those who have a LOT of layout edges to cover.

Good luck!

ya how about some free samples

you know like coke and pepsi

no but realy I took a quick look and its a great idea but some of the layouts here just look so good and its a shame to slap a guard rail

Well You are right, kinda.

You would not want a fence all the way around your layout. Chain link for industrial areas, picket for residential, 4 rail for a farm. Then do the rest in clear, $2.15 per foot for 6" tall panel.

Thanks for the feedback,

Mike

That’s why the fence design. Add to your layout and protect it.

Thanks, Mike

Wow!! We’ve had 158 visitors and only 5 opinions.

We need FEEDBACK. Thanks everyone.

thought it was expencive at first but looked up currant prices and found out you are right in line so only comment is add a 4"x48" clear as a lot of moduals are that size.

Some info about breakage would be helpful. I shopped around some time ago for something to keep fingers off, trains on, and be safe if leaned on too hard. Ended up with Lexan. Expensive, but I am comfortable when the Grandkids visit. How would your material stand up?

Not really a bad price.
What’s it cost to smash a BLI steamer or Diesel into a concrete floor???
Or a $1,000 to $2,000 brass steamer into the floor?
Plus the cars they might drag along with them?

Just my 2 cents worth.

Hi MeePatch!
Where you at in Hoosierland my friend?

There used to be a rule against this kind of advertising. But FastTracks did this same thing a while ago and got away with it. So I wonder what Bergie will do with this thread come Monday?

I didn’t see any rules. My announcement is not like a classified add. My thought was, where better to generate interest in the product and get feedback about the website. I am looking for customers of course. I was also looling for opinions. This is the best focus group anywhere.

I didn’t mean to offend anyone.

Thank you all for the wonderful feedback and all the help.

No offence taken at all. In fact, I welcome stuff like this. It’s just that it used to be against the rules to advertise anything at all. Personally, I’d like to see a seperate advertising forum here, but I don’t think it’ll ever happen.

I don’t even know if the rules ARE posted anywhere. Every now and then Bergie will post some guidelines when someone steps outside them. Like geardrivensteam, I don’t have a problem with your post, either, but was just commenting on it relative to the rules - that don’t seem to be posted. [:o)]

So hey, it’s okay anyway until the moderator says it isn’t…

I have seen “The Rules” posted in the FAQ on other sites. I looked and It doesn’t say anything at all about what to or not to post. So I figured as long as it was on the topic of MR it was ok.

Thanks, Mike
