I tried one of these not so long ago - it was in pewter, which apparently they stopped making due to colour variations. A couple of things I did not like: those washers for the axle bolts are pure cheese. Absolutely hopeless and make it very hard to get a good tighten-up. Also (with the track ends on the Bob Jackson anyway) the oversize axle that uses flats to allow the axle to fit is a complete PITA. I found that it often "caught" on the way in, thus jamming slightly. No biggie, but not fun on a rainy cold night.
