Looks pretty small. But for the price, it may be worth it. Wish I was closer to Milo.

Realistically now - these are rails that are 10 to 20 feet long and there appears to be 6 of them. We don't know weight or what kind of shape they are in. Assuming they are 60 pound, we get between 30 to 60 feet of mainline track; otherwise it's a siding track and who knows if we'll ever even use it.

I'm sure you're right, but whenever I look at such ads I always wonder if the seller actually took the time to measure, etc.

The rail in the pic looks to be 12# or maybe 16# also very rusty so may only be good for setout tracks along the line.

The rail could be used for fence posts along the East side of the new parking lot.

Don't we have a supply of under-sized rail just north of Brook Crossing?
