Plastic wheels to quiet things down

Thanks Bob for the link and the credit. I posted that idea a long time before that one on this forum and also on CoilCouplers.

Just as I came up with a fix for the Industrial Rail couplers 6 years ago and posted that fix on the OGR forum and later here. There some guy with the coupler idea on OGR now and everyone is thanking him like it's a new idea... it ain't. It was my idea.

I did searches at those times, and both ideas had not been posted anywhere. Maybe others had thought of them, but I'm the first person to have posted the fixes anywhere on the internet.

I don't mean to toot my horn, but when it comes to 027 trains and doing it on a budget and fixing things yourself, I'm the KING. Too many times I've had people who have seen my layout tell me they have never ever seen the creative ideas I've incorporated into my trains.

If Lionel wants to start putting plastic wheels on their rolling stock, the noise debate about FasTrack should end promptly. Of course, when the angry mob at YORK comes looking for blood at the Lionel display and Clyde Coil is there saying "Dang, twasn't my idea... it was him over there!" pointing at me... I'd be make sure the get-a-way vehicle is gassed up and ready to go.

Knowing my luck I'd be saying, "Oh man, who the heck blocked my get-a-way vehicle in with this parked Greendale bus?????"
