    lightnin kit

    Found this cool kit from a vintage toy store, called lightnin 2 stage 24MM in booster and upper. Only issue is 2 of the body tubes are crushed on one end. I only opened it after i talked the owner down in price and to show the damage. Just wanted to share this, i'll probably build it.

    connecting rails

    I'm considering connecting 2 lengths of 1515 rail mainly for ease of storage/ transportation. I would use the flat plates with appropriate hardware, of course the concern is where both ends come together and slot lining up.
