| | | | (...) Unfortunately I drew these up on Sunday night, so the idea of the gutter train going around to the new area (which I really like, since I love that little gutter train) hadn't appeared yet. I hesitated to post it until Dave and Janey had a (...) (20 years ago, 25-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | (...) Having had to clear the snow/ice off my windshield this morning, and whilst shivering in the cold, I was reminded that perhaps now would be a good time to find my scarf. Ahhh, my scarf. I love my little scarf--it's so warm and fuzzy and keeps (...) (20 years ago, 25-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | (...) I really like this idea. Since the guttter train currently doesn't cross over any track at this time, but with the new 'Derek Plan' it will, is there enough clearance between the gutter track and the train track? Just wondering. (...) (20 years ago, 25-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | Re: No one asked... —Derek Raycraft
|
| | | | | (...) No. There isn't. I had two thoughts on this point. If we are running the large layout we don't use the section of track the gutter train crosses so it doesn't matter. Or I could build some sort of lift bridge for the gutter train. There is an (...) (20 years ago, 25-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | (...) Well, the Racers track is eight dots wide...and the train track clearance between is eight dots. Which would be fine if the Racers track was on the ground, but it's at like 8 bricks high or something, which might make it conflict with actual (...)

| | | | | (...) Ramp pieces are a no go, they are way too steep. My thought was the racer track would drop to track level. This could be done reasonably quickly, but this could pose a logistical problem. If the track in this raised to one brick height, like (...) (20 years ago, 25-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

|
| | | | | | | | (...) How would you do it with train track? It can most likely be steeper then you can make a ramp with train track. I'm still trying to figure out how to solve the width, interference problem. Might have to give up on the racer track and build a (...) (20 years ago, 26-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

|
| | | | | | | | (...) Didn't think of that...right! (...) I don't honestly think it's a big deal. It's not the clearance of the track, it's the clearance of the gutter train itself, because the gutter is low enough. I don't think apart from DaveK's SD70ACe (which (...)

I just had another thought--if we're serious about this extension, we should start trying to figure out how all this is going to tie into NMRA. Just (...)
