No. Lego train prices make sunset 3rd rail look cheap.

This might not be Lego. It's probably compatible with lego. Made by another company

Okay, you've not an idea of my hourly rate on custom building and I don't build to spec on rail number at all. :wink: :wink:

The "kit" is made by a third party and disavows any association with Lego OTHER than a statement that is it made entirely of new Lego bricks!

I'm nearing the point of gluing on castings. Any recommendations for a quality bond?

Walther's Goo on the wood; medium viscosity CA on the metal. Don't overdo either. Get the parts together right the 1st time.

I glad you said "Walther's goo". Earlier you mentioned "Goo" When i looked into Goo. That's a sneaker repair glue.
