[quote]QUOTE: How do the prototype trams react to strong crosswinds? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Hello Walt.I 've never really thought about this before.They must have coped quite well as I've only ever seen a few pictures of them on their sides.I assume that the weight of the trucks against a light wooden structure compensates.I'll ask. <br />cutlass12001-- <br /> This is my father's layout.The whole lot is LGB as that is what he started with and the availability of other manufacturers has always been limited in the UK.The layout is analogue and you are right there are thousands of wires.It's all controlled from the signal box with row upon row of switches.I have no idea how to control it,it's far too compicated.I usually end up with 3 trains facing each other and have to hit the stop buttons.I think about 5 or 6 trains can run together on separate circuits. <br />As to controlling points,there are many ways of doing this.Depends on what system you have or what you want to do.
