Default Some interesting things

G'day all,
Was searching for a site of a bloke who made toy trains and tracks, and he had some plans on his site. Thought this info may have been of use to Kelly, unfortunately the site doesn't seem to exist any more.

The Silver lining though, is I came across this site which has some great Woodworking tips and info, also an "How to" make wooden train tracks.

John, I have a .pdf file that I made (from sources unknown now) that details how to make your own track, cars, buildings, etc. I don't know if it's the same one you were looking for, but if you want to take a look PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send it on.
