| Subject: | Re: Fruil Sherman Tracks? |  |
| Date: | Jul 8, 2001 |

I've used both the RHPS and the Fruili tracks. Although the set I used
were the older 'squash' style of Fruili tracks (I do not know if the
Sherman track has been revamped or not), I enjoyed them, and like their
look better than than the RHPS. Both track sets are very good WRT to
detail, but I like the Fruili tracks the best - nothing beats metal
track being represented by metal track.
Since the tracks aren't meant to be operating (ie, run across the
carpet), once in place and painted, a liberal application of a watery
white glue mixture (with a touch of dish soap) should solidify them
enough to prevent any stretching / seperation dilemmas commonly
associated with this type of track.
As I said previously, the RHPS detail is very good, are less hassle than
the DML tracks, but still require a great deal of careful cleanup.
HTH,
