Wow talk about hitting the nail on the head!! you may just have built the greatest Track layout and modeling system the Model Railroad Hobby has ever seen. I just finished watching your video of the introduction of your up coming track system and I'm am impressed beyond expression except to say WOW!! I guess I'll need to do some re-budgeting because this system is exactly what I need I suggest everybody go to the main page of the Fast tracks site and watch the video from the then National Train Show explaining the new system coming Aug 15th. The video will tell All !!!!!! |

It has been a long time in gestation, and in fact started out being something very different until the lightbulb went on! While the design work is pretty much completed now, we still face a major challenge of how to package the system. For sure each PlatForm piece will be available a la cart style, but we think that most people would prefer to purchase kits. The problem is, what goes in a kit? We have pretty much concluded that we will create PlatForm kits that will include enough pieces to construct a full loop for each radius, but what about other types of trackwork? Should we kit up easement pieces with switches? Maybe a couple of straight sections as well? One idea that I think is pretty interesting is creating a complete kit of PlatForm pieces for a complete layout. Perhaps select a number of popular layout designs in different scales and then create a complete kit of PlatForm pieces needed to create the whole layout. I think this would give many modelers a real head start in getting their layout up and running as quickly as possible - even the more complex designs. Definitely open to suggestions here! |

Tim and Ron, I think some basic kits for the switch eavesment and crossovers and crossings would be a good start. Can't wait to see the whole system, then maybe we could come up with more suggestions. Kurt |

I believe you should do some sort of Buy Three get One, or something like that. I don't want a kit if it has stuff I don't need/want. Or you could do something like "spend $X on your Infinite Track order and get y% off" or something like that. |

Hi all, just a question about ITS assembly fixtures: are there any marks for arcs on the curved track fixtures? I consider very helpful to know which arc we are building besides the radius, especially if we have to build curves with arcs equal to the angles of turnouts (to come back to parallel tracks, for instance, or to round the arc of a curve born from the diverging rout of a turnout). |

From what I've seen, no. However it would be a very handy and hopefully simple amendment. |
