(...) Ondrew, I see you have a single slip at 45 degrees there. I remember seeing a 22.5 degree crossing someone made from 2 straights, so that if two tracks were 32 studs apart with a switch on each and a straight connecting them, another track (...)

(...) I was checking out a real three way point (switch) while waiting for the train home. The one in question has quite a large offset. However I don't think you need to worry about having both points set for the outside roads at the same time as (...) (19 years ago, 14-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) you make a good point. i should be able to use a 4 or 8 stud offset with little or no huge problems. either way i think it's going to be fun which is what matters anyway. ondrew (19 years ago, 14-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) The double-Y will be difficult to do with both switches at the same position. You'd have to have some way to ensure both aren't set to reverse (curved) at the same time, and a reliable way to direct the train when both are normal (straight). (...)

I like the general feel of this MOC, I think you have got most of the prototye details right. I like your truck design, I hope it works out in the ABS. I don't know if it would be possible but I think the oval cab door window could do with being a (...) (19 years ago, 11-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains)

Thats a great model on two levels. It looks great and has SO many innovative design solutions.
