Bill, It has been a while since I read about when they stopped running trains there. It seems to me it was sometime in the ‘70s; but don’t quote me. Thank you
JD, thank you. The upper left is where the roll out section comes in. That will let me get behind when I need to. The stationary Benchwork will come out 30 or so inches. Then a slightly larger rollout section like I built last winter will connect to it. The smaller one now serves as a prototype for a better one, it is back a few pages where I tried to show how it works.
Dr. Joe, Thank you.
Dave, Thank you for the fixes. Yes I did have to stretch out the grade further! You have a good point about the passing siding. I don’t plan on parking cars and you are right if I did, I would have to make the whole siding flat. I have read pros and cons on switches on grades. Some say they cause derailments, others say they have never had a problem. I think it is worth a try to make a constant grade. It would be a lot easier. Thank you again for the SCARM work.
Al, Thank you!
