Very Kewl: Bus, Track & Train Diorama

Hi Dala,

I'm aware of the Faller system as well, in fact I got a starter kit long ago, but never got round to building it as it does take a lot of effort.

The Tomytec bus system can steer as it is basically the same sort of tech that the Faller system uses, except the track comes with the metal wires already embedded (think scalextric except that the wirse are in the plastic) and you can control the vehicles by adding small magnets at certain points in different combintions (i.e. get a bus to pull over and wait a time period then resume its journey). The chassis for the buses can be purchased separately so it would be perfectly possible to fit a lorry body to a bus chassis instead. The Tomytec buses should also work on a Faller system once you've built it.

Either way both systems are great and can add a great deal to a layout...
