[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by twhite Jsalemi: Go right ahead, nobody's going to jump all over you, and if they do, tell them that there's an off-stage flyover in the mountains. My model RR is based somewhat on the SP Donner Pass route and has a lot of left-hand running. Of course my fly-overs are 'on stage' so to speak, so nobody comments. If it makes you feel any better, I grew up thinking left-hand running was the 'norm,' from my early train-watching experiences in the Sierra. Best of luck to you. [/quote] Thanks! Since I'm mostly going to be the only one who sees the layout in action on a daily basis, I don't really mind being un-prototypical, but I was curious which side is 'right.' But like anything else, asking the question got me to thinking about solving the problem a different way, and I've realized that if I flip one end of the dogbone by crossing the center tracks over one another, I end up with the trains running on the "right" side, and solve some other problems I was trying to sort out. Of course, that means I'm now on version #38 of the mainline plan, but isn't that part of the fun? [:D]
