nice!! I wanted to get the road rail crossings but they are a fortune to get now. I know a local hobby shop that has them but they want $65.00 a PIECE!!!
My dad took the smoking contraption off a train and hooked it up to a light switch, put a red blinking light in the house and melted a little model house down for affect.
If Tyco only still made toys like this. I remember getting my slot car race track set for Christmas when I was a kid. I had the Lamborghini slot car set. I remember when I was older I bought a AFX slot car racing set also. I found a set of Tyco motorcycle race set at an Auction.
I WISH i had that entire set! I had some of the pieces but I've never seen them all together...that was my favorite xmas gift ever, and it was soooo much fun to play with it with my HO scale trains...hearforall i agree with you 100%!
this is the coolest US1 layout i have seen ,,, i live in new zealand ,, have many trucks, cars ,you name it,, but i foolishly let go of buildings, track ,ect,, oh well ,,how did you keep the young one from grabbing,, amazing,, my one would have gone nuts,,, 21 months
I had a US-1 set in my mid single digits. And of course only a few pieces survived (my brother had one too, gone also). Last year thanks to Ebay i got all of my stuff back, along with my brothers stuff, and then some. Including a road/rail track to combine it with my trains.
If only i had a place to set it up besides the floor :(
This stuff is great, I bought quite an extensive collection in 2005-2006, I spent at least $6,000 on it, had just about 1 of everything, 13 sets, almost every car, all the trailers, all the accessories, it took up an entire closet, then I sold it all to get money to fix up my '62 Dodge Dart, all I kept was the Army Transport set I have, but I am seriously gonna get back into it soon.
This is the best us1 trucking layout on youtube. Please give us another video but with the train running this time.Very Nice.

I like how you integrated the layout with the tunnels. If we set up ours permanently then I'd try to do something like that.

How & where did you get the smoke thingy? Is it your own invention or do they sell it somewhere?

Definately coolest toy that TYCO ever made, I had mine set up with trains running too. Cheers

That is a really nice layout. You could probably sell it on ebay and pay for at least a year of your grandson's college.
