Thanks! I'm not the modeller a lot of Lugnuts are, but I do pride myself on
being able to make a good mountain. :) The trestle was a combo effort
between John & I, and the funicular was Michel's design.

<Nod nod> It was certainly a design challenge, but the final effect was by
far worth it. My only real suggestion (other than go with what works) would
be to keep your track farther apart than the standard 8-stud spacing that
LEGO track creates; especially if you're going around a corner, and running
8-wide trains. ;) If you don't, you'll be running tight for support between
the tracks, and your mountain may decide to shear on the way to the show.
(this is why the track layout has the angle on the inside track - the
mountain I made for our previous show *did* shear on the way there...)
thanks,
James
