Love the time crunch--I wouldn't do anything if there wasn't the time crunch.
Few more things--both tracks going into Jeff's backbone are at 19 plates--6
bricks plus 1 plate. I did this so there wouldn't be an elevation of 2 plates
per track going right into a 0 elevation. I have provided the plates for both
track elevations at the end of my module so Jeff shouldn't have to worry about
it.
As well, that one 'ramp up' that comes right out of Calum's station and proceeds
up the ramp to Altenberg--on my module the track is 2 plates high. Again, if
possible, Calum, could you make the last track segment in your train station 1
plate high at one end and 2 plates high at the edge of your module?
Other than that, all other track entrances and exits are status quo.
I believe that the outer loop is still GO train compliant, but having no 10 wide
anywhere in my collection, I can't test it.
Did we come to any decision on a way to store the surplus rolling stock units?
It was mentinoed that the train yard won't be large enuf to accomodate all the
rolling stock that we have. Or do we just have a box under the layout and grab
when wanted?
