[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cwaldman One issue with the solutions given ( unless i totally missed something ) is that it is a model situation and the movement of the cars can not be done by the methods listed. I would especially avoid elevating one end of the track as the cars will roll. Of course the appearance (if that is all you are interested in ) will work with a tractor etc. As I said, I may have missed something, [/quote] You did not miss anything. I was wondering how it was done in the real world so I could represent it properly. Most likely I will add a tractor and a shed to the complex and when someone asks what they are for now I can tell them. I could also model a pulley on the bumper with a hand crank or a stationary motor to pull the cars along. Even putting a long pole in the scene could represent the pinch bar method of moving the cars. I don't have to really do it the way. I just want to show (and know) how it was done.
