As for the grade, I wanted the track to come down to the ore dock from a hill like the one in Marquette, (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) I can see two, although I would argue it will be plenty dominant with just 1. But 4 tracks is way too many. The throat will take up too much space. Remember, selective compression... Why do you want to widen it? Docks often have slight grades (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) If it is too tall then I will shorten it due to the fact I want to be able to run my ore cars on there. But one thing for sure is that I am going to have to widen it to accommodate 2 or 4 tracks. (25 years ago, 16-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Hello, As I explained to some folks at the Ringe-fest I will be making a Ore Dock for the harbor at GATS-02. Here are some photos: (URL) sits about 27 high and is 10 wide. I will be much taller once I get some more parts. It will be able to have 2 (...) (25 years ago, 15-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
