QUOTE: Originally posted by wrmcclellan Joe, I (for one) and I am sure many others really appreciate your group's followup on this subject. I also think others will appreciate your reducing the requirements (2 inches for every 4 feet) into something more understandable for many who watch the forum. Nice work on your part! Thanks for taking the time. Also sounds like you had fun too! Thanks! Roy
Regards, Roy
QUOTE: Originally posted by lionelsoni For the set-out problem, how about a trailing-point switch down the hill below the train, leading not to a siding but immediately to a bumper? Or a trailing-point switch just below the siding, with a substantial chock soldered onto the inside diverging rail far enough downhill from the points so as not to interfere with the sideframes of rolling stock on the main line. The front truck of the front car would move sideways, but only about half an inch, to reach the chock. You could cut away most of the rest of the switch, if you like, or make it look like a disused siding.
