| | | | (...) Ditto on the monorail track for me. Also, I now have the 3 short directional control pieces needed for our layout, so Kevin won't need to help there. I'll provide all the monorail track and connectors. I've got lots of supports, but probably (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

| | | | (...) OK. DId you say you were short of ramps, Robin? I can bring those if needed. It also strikes me that we need another directional control piece - at the m-station by the docks, BOTH sides of the loop ought to have a control switch so we can (...)

| | | | | (...) Not short of ramps. We've spec'd out just 1 "ascent" and 1 "descent" in our layout, requiring two track pieces for each. I've got 2 "sets" of each so I'm covered. As far as the other control at the dock station, that's not a bad idea. I'll (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

I thought we had 2 ascents and 2 descents: On the northern line, there's an ascent directly W of the bidge and a descent directly E of it: on teh southern line, there's an ascent W of the mountain and a descent E of the bridge. Both tracks are (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
