We meet again Mr. Vettbass, I'm not sure if I want to be the "prime authority" on elevated track....if I make a mistake everyone will pick on me....then I'll feel bad....do you want that on your conscience. But thank you for your vote of confidence anyway. Now, about level track for the oil dumpers (steamers ) My reference to level track working best for live steam had nothing to do with pulling power I was thinking of the run-away problem steamers have had on my many grades. Didn't mean to slight the "puffers". All this steam talk reminds me of an incident that happened about six or seven years ago. One of our members was about to run his steamer so I ran my sparker on to a side track and zeroed-out the Aristo-craft R/C hand held throttle. After the steamer had finished running I tried to bring my sparker back onto the main line.....NOTHING!!!! My transmitter was fried. Apparently the Aristo-Craft throttle doesn't zero-out completely and the steamer didn't have insulated wheels.....you guessed it, SHORT CIRCUIT. I sent my unit to Arist-Craft explaining what happend and they sent back a brand new unit with no questions and no charge. Now I unplug my power pack whenever a steamer runs just to be safe. Don't burn your fingers......OLD DAD
