I believe the optional Tru Track parts are JUST the parts
needed to make this kit work with an existing tru track kit.

If you want to see how the kit moves, we made a video
which you can find here:

Karen,

Not so. Before Kerry or I would give anyone here a guess at the price for
the true-track option, I called Manny. After a bit of humming and hawing,
he told me his costs and I suggested the price should be "Not more than
$200". "Naww-- that's too much." "OK, we'll tell 'em NMT $150."
"Naah...$100." "Manny, that's not enough!" "Yes, it is -- $100."

Sounds pretty firm to me, and DOES include the cam followers and tracks.

Even after that, I still think it's too cheap and won't be surprised if he
finds production costs force him to increase it.

That's a little hard to compete with.
