Although it is only 80 % completed my area 3 is working proper;y after a lot of trouble. <br /> <br />As the track comes out of the pumphouse tunnel, it goes through a left R 3 curve into a 4 % gradient then a right hand set of points (switch) to do with the reversing loop then still on 4 % it goes through a pair of left hand points back to back for the change over to the main loop from the reversing loop. I have had the following problems which seem to be all sorted out now:- <br /> <br />1/ derailments caused by bad camber (see previous subjects) <br /> <br />2/ Stalling, derailing and sticking on the points. <br /> <br />3/ locos unable to climb the gradient and lose traction. <br /> <br />4/ switch motors filling up with quarry fines due to the monsoons. <br /> <br />5/ Wash outs as item 4 <br /> <br />6/ soil washing away over Vampires Tunnel as item 4. <br /> <br />7/ My accident where 6 little people were killed. <br /> <br />8/ concrete (cement) assemblies falling apart as the concrete didn't cure properly as it was too hot. <br /> <br />9/ The rear end of my ICE train getting filled with water, and blowing out its decoder chip see item 4 we had 75 mm (3") of rain in an hour or so one night. <br /> <br /> <br />Etc etc etc but it is all working 100 % now. <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds ian
