(...) That's what I was wondering. I notice James and Chris were silent about being able to make a 60" x 60" mountain with four tunnels, one of them with a spiral chamber, and all of them curved. 8-) With enough time and bricks it would be "doable", (...)

James Brown wrote in message ... (...) IMO, the one you made yesterday was great, but this is even better.

Hello Steve, It is looking promising, not sure about the practicality of such a large mountain! The other major problem, is that as currently drawn, it takes one more small 30.5x30.5 table than I currently have! I only have the equivalent of 18 (...)

James, in short back to the drawing board! Mountain on 30.5x61 inch table, in the corner, with two 9V tracks at ground level. Not sure if only 1 or two loops of 12V above this, will depend on experimentation. If John is able, a rackrailway a la (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
