Thank you, Andy! Yes, it is a good idea to do a little bit and check it out thoroughly, before locking things down with wiring, ballast, and then find out it doesn’t work in all situations.
To that end, I am mocking up the remaining (foreground) ramp to see how it works out. The problem is it has to be somewhat more steep than the original 4% where the grade started shortly after the truss bridge. I wanted to have the two switches level, so I lost a few feet of grade. I am making some of it up, by shoving that grade back about 8” from the front of the table. I’ll mock it up, jumper some power and run trains up to see how it works. Please stay tuned.
