    Re: train2 rollcall... —Derek Raycraft
   I've finally figured out what I'll be able to bring, and how to bring it. Here's what I plan to bring: 2 engines, 1 tender and 3 cars, 6 wide sets. 1 engine, 3 passenger cars, 8 wide creations. 1 experimental monorail with a loop of track. I was (...)

     (...) I'm not using standard monorail track, which is why its experimental. That and its not running quite the way I'd like it to yet. Needs more work, but it does run. (...)

      (...) Cool, now to remember that. (rubbing temples) Jeff... Jeff... Jeff... I'll be very surprised if my train can run on the display.

          Re: train2 rollcall... —Jeff Elliott
       (...) Well, in order to be Eleura-car compliant, we had to be able to pass a fat 8-wide [1]... All my track & bridges on the mainlines can handle a skinny 10-wide [2], 34-long car [3], including the tunnel. My tunnel arches can handle a car that is (...)

       (...) Well I meet the fat 8-wide standard. I should be under 13.2 bricks in height. However I'm more then 50 long. I think the bogy pivit points are at 42 or 44 bump separation. Thats why I say I cut a lot on the corners. Going around a bend two (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.org.ca.monlug, lugnet.org.ca.parlugment)

        (...) That'll trash my tunnel, I imagine :( I think the outside of the curve is OK - those pivots sound like they're near the ends, but the inside corner only has a stud or two to spare. I'll see if I can mod it tonight, but no promises. Jeff E (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.org.ca.monlug, lugnet.org.ca.parlugment)
