I was wondering if someone could provide me with some info on the GATS
layout...I am working on the "under the track uncouplers" and need to know how
to mount them so as I might be able to obtain all the required parts to make it
a simple slip in installation. I have most of the parts ready. I know we had
talked about having the sides on gray bases (48x48?)...I can't tell much from
the small bmp on the web site. I would like to put all the uncouplers in a row
if possible so we wont have to remember where each one is. I planned on doing
7, but I can do more if needed.
I need to know how far apart the tracks are for spacing purposes, and how far
from the edge of a gray 48x48 is there a section where all the straights line up
across the base (have I confused anyone?) I will then attempt to create a
complete section that will simply snap into the layout.
The elevation ant that of the surrounding track will need to be the same as the
base, two bricks and one plate. The base on the bottom, then the two bricks,
then the plate which will span between the tracks. Air supply tubing will be
under the tracks.
I have put together a new compressor with a pressure switch and 7 switches to
control the uncouplers.
On another note...wasn't there once talk about having a drive in theater? Any
plans for that? I have some technic video and could perhaps come up with
something built around my lap top if desired.

| Hi John, Sounds like you've been putting a lot of work in on your uncouplers. We've been meeting every Sunday at 2:00 to work on the layout and it would probably be beneficial for you to drop by with some of your stuff to see what would be the best (...)
