Jack, thanks for the idea but it is very hard to change that now and in any case i think It will affect my 1.1 m Radius curve, and I have very little room overall. Mat and the same to you only in reverse. Vic, this is not a critique of you or your thread, nor do i care about appeal, more an observation of the level of outlook of many of the people on this forum. Please don't take offence about this something else maybe but not this. Underground: i cannot understand your thinking for the life of me; I understood it more when I read you live in an apartment block, so you must have very little experience with anything to do with garden railways, truly who would have a spur 200 mm long, what would you do with it? i guess this is why you have never seen anything like it and the same to you Vic. I have two concerns and thay are both to do with larger running stuff.; 1) As my Mallet curves to the right it has a fair outhang out the back and i am concerned that its left rear section will hit the fence post or the rear of the left arch. 2) Many of my larger carriages, ie the ICE train and the Golden Mountain have a lot of swing between the bogies (trucks) and it will foul the rear part of the right hand arch. To this end I intend to get the whole thing working without the arches and then try to add them. Further to this business about the spur line, I have already said the small branch to the right is just the beginning of my main line and it will be a circular track 40 m long, so it is hardly a spur. Most of this circle is already finished. I have already done the geometry and it looks ok but it is marginal and I will keep you all informed as i go. Troy will post the pictures for me. Social responsibilities aside I hope to have something in a week. Rgds Ian And thanks fpor the interest and please keep your thinking caps on.
