I just got one today, after reading about them here. The price was a real stumbling block, but I went ahead an ordered it. It came today--what a remarkable tool
First off it's larger than it looks and it's quite heavy--extremely well made. But I'm so impressed with how it works. My layout is built on a ladder trackbed, and I had some spots on my track where straight and curved section didn't quite line up--places where one section of LGB 1600 curve was too tight,and so there was a big gap at one rail joint and not another. Ugly looking and ugly running. Well I just took the trainli out and started messng around, and in 5 minutes those spots were fixed--smooth, even curves. It was completely painless and easy
I can't wait to lay some track
